The interest in functional supramolecular systems for the design of innovative materials and
technologies, able to fundamentally change the world, is growing at a high pace. The huge …

Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

This review discusses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers that form in aqueous
media. First, naturally occurring supramolecular polymers are described, in particular …

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 …

The mechanism of supramolecular polymerization has been elucidated for an archetype
organogelator molecule composed of a perylene bisimide aromatic scaffold and two amide …

Helical architectures including artwork and monuments, such us the Trajan's column from
Rome, were constructed as early as in the year 113 while the assemblies and the self …

Helical self-organizations are equilibrium structures responsible for the assembly of
nonequilibrium and equilibrium living and synthetic systems. Racemic helical columnar …

The amplification of molecular asymmetry through self-assembly is a phenomenon that not
only comprehends the origin of homochirality in nature but also produces chiroptically active …

H-bonding, shape complementarity, and quasi-equivalence are widely accepted as some of
the most influential molecular recognition events mediating biological and synthetic self …

We have investigated the kinetic and thermodynamic supramolecular polymerizations of a
series of amide-functionalized perylene bisimide (PBI) organogelator molecules bearing …
