The chemical reactivity of molecules can be significantly enhanced when they are trapped in
a confined space. Although such a confinement effect can be found in many self-assembled …

Supramolecular self-assembly into various nano-or microscopic structures based on non-
covalent interactions between molecules has been recognized as a very efficient approach …

Amphiphile self-assembly is an essential bottom-up approach of fabricating advanced
functional materials. Self-assembled materials with desired structures are often obtained …

Living matter is sustained under non-equilibrium conditions via continuous expense of
energy which is coordinated by complex organized events. Spatiotemporal control over …

Dissipative self-assembly is a challenging but attractive field of supramolecular science,
because it generally concerns complex systems but is more close to the self-assembly of …

Templated assembly of organic molecules constitutes a promising approach for fabricating
functional nanostructures at surfaces with molecular-scale control. Using the substrate …

Coordination-directed self-assembly has become a powerful new technique for the
preparation of large supramolecular structures of defined shapes and sizes. 1 Among the …

Amphiphilicity is one of the molecular bases for self‐assembly. By tuning the amphiphilicity
of building blocks, controllable self‐assembly can be realized. This article reviews different …

The creation of smart, self-assembling materials that undergo morphological transitions in
response to specific physiological environments can allow for the enhanced accumulation of …

Conspectus Compared to traditionally used irreversible chemical reactions, dynamic
covalent chemistry (DCC) including imine formation represents a more advanced technique …
