Covalent polymers connected by non-covalent interactions constitute a fascinating set of
materials known as supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs). A key feature of SPNs is that …

Metal–organic complexes assembled from coordinative interactions are known to be able to
display a wide range of photoluminescent behaviors benefiting from an extensive number of …

Light-emitting materials, especially those with tunable wavelengths, attract considerable
attention for applications in optoelectronic devices, fluorescent probes, sensors and so on …

Supramolecular polymers can be random and entangled coils with the mechanical
properties of plastics and elastomers, but with great capacity for processability, recycling …

Innovative technologies are highly pursued for the detection and avoidance of counterfeiting
in modern information society. Herein, we report the construction of photo-responsive …

It is quite challenging to realize fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between
two chromophores with specific positions and directions. Herein, through the self-assembly …

As a novel class of dynamic and non‐covalent polymers, supramolecular polymers not only
display specific structural and physicochemical properties, but also have the ability to …

Absorption of light by a molecule (donor, D) generates an excited state, which may
subsequently transfer the excitation to another chromophore (acceptor, A) in the vicinity …

In this review, we survey the diversity of structures and functions which are encountered in
advanced self-assembled nanomaterials. We highlight their flourishing implementations in …

1.1 Background In his historic review titled “Polymerization” in Chemical Reviews of 1931,
Wallace H. Carothers described his brilliant ideas about the rapidly developing field of …
