Supramolecular assemblies of a 1,8-naphthalimide conjugate and its aggregation-induced emission property

“…Recently, several emerging properties 26,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] of planar fluorophores have been observed in mixed solvents. One of them is supramolecular gelation [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61] . It is clear from the gelation table that the gelator is insoluble in water and soluble in DMSO.…”

Self-sorting assembly of artificial building blocks

“…77,78 Furthermore, the chirality of a polymer or supramolecular fibre also dominates the assembly behaviour. 79,80 For instance, Wu et al reported the self-sorting behaviours of helical polyisocyanide in their bulk state and gel state. 79 Zhao and co-workers also reported a pair of gelators with similar structures and the same chirality, but they formed different chiral fibres when assembled individually.…”

Incorporation of narcissistic self-sorting supramolecular interactions for the spontaneous fabrication of multiple-color solid-state materials for OLED applications

“…Supramolecular assemblies based on complementary ionic forces, 14 H-bonding interactions [15][16][17][18] or reversible covalent bond formation 7,19 can also display selfsorting behaviour. Amongst bio-inspired soft-matter materials, orthogonal self-assembly of surfactants may lead to interpenetrating networks of fibrillar networks [20][21][22][23][24][25] or to their co-existence with liposomes 26 or liquid crystal bolaamphiphiles, whereas the combination of H-bonding and hydrophobic units can provide self-sorting in micelles. 27 The concept of self-sorting is crucial for understanding the formation of complex biological systems and carries great potential for bio-organic materials.…”
