Chiroptical switches, whose chiral optical signals such as optical rotatory dispersion (ORD),
circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) are reversibly …

Supramolecular chirality is involved not only in biological events such as gene
communication, replication, and enzyme catalysis but also in artificial self-assembly systems …

Supramolecular polymers exhibit fascinating structures, and their properties, and thus
applications, depend both on the strength and dynamics of the non-covalent bonds and on …

Supramolecular polymerization can be controlled in space and time by chemical fuels. A
nonassembled monomer is activated by the fuel and subsequently self-assembles into a …

Nature extensively exploits high-energy transient self-assembly structures that are able to
perform work through a dissipative process. Often, self-assembly relies on the use of …

Incorporation of non‐equilibrium actions in the sequence of self‐assembly processes would
be an effective means to establish bio‐like high functionality hierarchical assemblies. As a …

The research field of supramolecular polymerization has dramatically progressed in the last
three decades, and much deeper insights into its new mechanisms, including kinetic and …

The creation of matter with varying degrees of complexities and desired functions is one of
the ultimate targets of self-assembly. The ability to regulate the complex interactions …

Controlling the nanoscale orientation of π‐conjugated systems remains challenging due to
the complexity of multiple energy landscapes involved in the supramolecular assembly …

Supramolecular polymers, such as microtubules, operate under non-equilibrium conditions
to drive crucial functions in cells, such as motility, division and organelle transport. In vivo …
