science applications. Nevertheless, targeted design requires a basic understanding of the …

The self-assembly of discrete molecular entities into functional nanomaterials has become a
major research area in the past decades. The library of investigated compounds has …

The past 20 years have witnessed a renaissance of dye chemistry, moving from traditional
colorant research toward functional materials. Different from traditional colorant research …

Supramolecular polymers based on host–guest molecular recognition have emerged as
promising platforms for the development of smart materials. However, the studies on them …

Constructing supramolecular cages with multiple subunits via weak intermolecular
interactions is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. So far, π-stacked supramolecular …

J‐aggregates are highly desired dye aggregates but so far there has been no general
concept how to accomplish the required slip‐stacked packing arrangement for dipolar …

Herein, the ultrafast photoinduced dynamics and vibrational coherences for two
perylenebisimide (PBI) H-aggregates showcase the formation of the excimer state and the …

Chemistry “beyond the molecule” is based on weak, noncovalent, and reversible
interactions. As a consequence of these bonds being weak, structural organization by …

Exciton coupling between two or more chromophores in a specific environment is a key
mechanism associated with color tuning and modulation of absorption energies. This …

Aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) phenomena received great popularity
during the last decade but in most cases insights into the packing structure–fluorescence …
