“…[6] Similarly, in natural photosynthesis organisms optimize solar energy conversion through the self-organized assembly of photofunctional chromophores. [7,8] Over the last two decades, molecular self-assembly has played a key role in the construction of a variety of elegant and intricate synthetic nanostructures, including molecular crystals and liquid crystals, [9,10] colloids [11] and micelles, [12] gels, [13,14] polymers [15,16] and nanoscale structures of high symmetry, such as 3D-frameworks, [17] metal-organic polygons and polyhedra. [18,19] As the properties of these materials highly depend both on the nature of their components and the interactions between them, the explicit manipulation of the building blocks and the non-covalent forces that hold the constituents together has promoted the evolution of functional properties, which have been exploited in numerous advanced technologies.…”

Iridium(III) complexes exhibit remarkable photophysical properties such as high photoluminescence quantum yields, wide color tunability and high chemical stability. They have featured prominently in diverse applications such as sensing, bio-imaging, photoredox catalysis, solar fuels and solid-state lighting. In the vast majority of these reports the iridium complex is mononuclear in nature. The use of iridium complexes as components of selfassembled systems has garnered increasing attention and this review aims to comprehensively document the advances made in this area. Special emphasis will be devoted to describing the photophysical properties and applications of such photo-active supramolecular materials. Soft materials such as soft salts, liquid crystals, gels, colloids incorporating iridium are described as are hydrogen bonding-and π-π staking-directed assemblies, coordination-driven selfassembled materials such as coordination polymers and metal organic frameworks, macrocycles, capsules and cages. Finally, guest Ir(III) complexes encapsulated within the cavities of cage-type structures are presented. Contents

Peptide-based materials are one of the most important biomaterials, with diverse structures and functionalities. Over the past few decades, a self-assembly strategy is introduced to construct peptide-based nanomaterials, which can form well-controlled superstructures with high stability and multivalent effect. More recently, peptide-based functional biomaterials are widely utilized in clinical applications. However, there is no comprehensive review article that summarizes this growing area, from fundamental research to clinic translation. In this review, the recent progress of peptide-based materials, from molecular building block peptides and self-assembly driving forces, to biomedical and clinical applications is systematically summarized. Ex situ and in situ constructed nanomaterials based on functional peptides are presented. The advantages of intelligent in situ construction of peptide-based nanomaterials in vivo are emphasized, including construction strategy, nanostructure modulation, and biomedical effects. This review highlights the importance of self-assembled peptide nanostructures for nanomedicine and can facilitate further knowledge and understanding of these nanosystems toward clinical translation.

“…The PKNPs are prepared by the self-assembly of the US food and drug administration (FDA)-approved porphyrin derivative photosensitizer 29 (5-(4-carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin, PP) and Ab-targeting peptide KLVFF. 30,31 Porphyrin is selected as a photosensitizer due to its superior optical and electronic properties. 13,32,33 Besides, porphyrin with intrinsically hydrophobic characteristics could function as a building block in the construction of supramolecular nanostructures.…”
