Summary: This study introduces a hybrid DNA origami-based approach for dynamic templating of supramolecular architectures, allowing for selective recruitment of supramolecular polymers to the platform with dynamic tuning of composition. This platform aids in real-time study of supramolecular structures in their native environment and promotes new strategies for controlled multicomponent self-assembly.

Summary: Chemists have constructed sophisticated artificial nanostructured systems through self-assembly, including scissor-shaped photochromic dyads that hierarchically self-assemble into discrete nanostructures with photoresponsive properties. These nanostructures, such as azobenzene dyads, can be dissociated and reorganized through the photoisomerization of azobenzene units, enabling controllable and adjustable structures.

Summary: By decorating nanographenes with alkyl chains and controlling concentration, solvent polarity, temperature, and sonication, it is possible to achieve self-assembly and formation of stacked structures. Optical measurements and AFM images confirm the presence of stacked structures, while molecular mechanics calculations model the interactions within the aggregates. The nanographenes exhibit concentration-dependent morphologies, forming stacked structures at low concentrations and polymer-like network structures at higher concentrations on mica.

Summary: Thirteen palladium-ligand assemblies with different structures and topologies were studied for their ability to bind lithium ions. It was found that the addition of LiBF4 caused a significant structural rearrangement in one case, converting a dinuclear [Pd2L4](4+) complex into a low-symmetry [Pd4L8](8+) assembly with two binding pockets for solvated LiBF4 ion pairs. This rearrangement was only induced by Li+, indicating highly specific host-guest interactions. Structural analysis revealed that the [Pd4L8](8+) receptor had a compact structure with multiple intramolecular interactions, similar to natural and synthetic foldamers.

Summary: The introduction of multiple kinetic aggregation states (Aggs) into the self-assembly pathway can increase the complexity and flexibility of the self-assemblies. This was achieved by using a series of chiral and achiral d(10) Au-I bis(N-heterocyclic carbene, NHC) complexes, where the achiral complex could undergo self-assembly with multiple kinetic Aggs. The chiral Au-I self-assemblies exhibited nonlinear optical response of second harmonic generation (SHG) and could function as optical waveguides with strong emission polarization, while these properties were absent in the achiral analogue.

Summary: This study presents an interesting self-assembly phenomenon of peapod-like micrometer tubes from a planet-satellite-type supramolecular megamer. The peapod-like structure is formed through sequential vesicle entosis, linear association, and fusion processes. Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations support the possibility of the structural formation and its mechanism. UV light irradiation can disassemble the peapod-like structure. This study expands the family of supramolecular polymers and provides a new avenue for developing bioinspired complex hierarchical nanoarchitectures at the microscopic level.

Summary: In this study, a novel supramolecular polymer based on pillar[5]arene macrocycles was reported. This fluorescent polymer exhibits a prominent blue emission without conventional chromophores. The emission peak can be slightly tuned through the modification of alkyl chain ending groups attached to the pillar[5]arenes. This study expands the application of functional supramolecular polymer systems and provides valuable insights for the design of luminescent materials and optical devices.

Summary: Due to the highly symmetrical structures, partial functionalization of macrocycles is usually low-yielding and difficult to purify. In this study, a two-step fragment coupling method was developed to synthesize tetra-functionalized pillar[6]arenes, referred to as X-pillar[6]arenes. This method is simple and versatile and allows for hetero-fragment coupling and pre-functionalization.

Summary: The self-assembly and stimuli-response mechanisms of the TBT-gel were investigated, revealing that it is based on strong hydrogen bonding, pi-pi interactions, and coordination interactions with Fe3+. The TBT-gel exhibited selective fluorescent response for Fe3+ and F- based on competitive coordination mechanisms, and the fluorescence response mechanism was governed by the ICT mode. The quantum chemical calculations provided a deep understanding and visualization of the assembly and stimuli-responsive mechanisms.

Summary: Coordination chemistry is a powerful method for synthesizing supramolecular cages with specific applications. This study successfully synthesized discrete, homochiral (Fe2L3)-L-II cages through chirality-driven self-assembly. The size of these cages can be controlled by stereochemical manipulation of the iron(II) centers, and their formation requires chirality at both the vertices and ligand backbones. The smaller cages exhibit stereoselectivity with only chiral ligands, and their formation is driven by non-covalent interactions.

Summary: Metal-coordinated orthogonal self-assembly has been used to construct polymeric materials with different topologies, providing supramolecular complexes. Di-cryptand and tetra-cryptand complexes were prepared through coordination-driven self-assembly, leading to the construction of linear and cross-linked supramolecular polymers. The degree of polymerization was found to be dependent on both monomer concentrations and supramolecular polymer topologies based on proton nuclear magnetic resonance and diffusion-ordered spectroscopy spectra.

Summary: Reactions of the [Os3H2(CO)(10)] cluster complex with six-membered heterocyclic amines and halohydrocarbons at around 25 degrees C lead to the formation of two main types of products: carbene cluster and cluster containing enamine ligand. The carbene ligand is assembled on the cluster from three organic molecules, representing the first example of carbene ligands formed in this manner. The clusters with carbene ligand exist as two stable isomers, as confirmed by NMR studies and conformational analysis.

Summary: This study found that the degree of disorder between the mirrored positions of [Cp'' Fe(η(5)-P-5)] molecules in the orthorhombic Pca2(1) space group varies, ranging from 1% to 24% depending on the selected single crystal for X-ray structural determination. This unusual behavior is caused by stacking faults in adjacent layers, resulting in two polytypes. Additionally, crystals with fewer stacking faults demonstrate temperature-induced superstructural ordering.
