Carbohydrates are the most abundant and one of the most important biomacromolecules in
Nature. Except for energy-related compounds, carbohydrates can be roughly divided into …

Supramolecular polymers exhibit fascinating structures, and their properties, and thus
applications, depend both on the strength and dynamics of the non-covalent bonds and on …

Controlling polymorphism in molecular solids is of great interest since the properties and
performances of molecular materials depend on the molecules' mutual packing …

Programming the organization of π‐conjugated systems into nanostructures of defined
dimensions is a requirement for the preparation of functional materials. Herein, we have …

Soft matter covers a wide range of materials based on linear or branched polymers, gels and
rubbers, amphiphilic (macro) molecules, colloids, and self-assembled structures. These …

A bis (squaraine) dye equipped with alkyl and oligoethyleneglycol chains was synthesized
by connecting two dicyanomethylene substituted squaraine dyes with a phenylene spacer …

Connecting molecular-level phenomena to larger scales and, ultimately, to sophisticated
molecular systems that resemble living systems remains a considerable challenge in …

Helical folding of randomly coiled linear polymers is an essential organization process not
only for biological polypeptides but also for synthetic functional polymers. Realization of this …

The phenomenon of polymorphism is ubiquitous in biological systems and has also been
observed in various types of self-assembled materials in solution and in the solid state. In …

Hydrogen‐bonded squaramide (SQ) supramolecular polymers exhibit uncommon
thermoreversible polymorph transitions between particle‐and fiber‐like nanostructures. SQs …
