This comprehensive review surveys developments over the past decade in the field of
naphthalene diimides (NDIs). It explores their application toward: supramolecular chemistry; …

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 …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Controlling the nanoscale orientation of π‐conjugated systems remains challenging due to
the complexity of multiple energy landscapes involved in the supramolecular assembly …

Multicomponent supramolecular systems could be used to prepare exciting new functional
materials, but it is often challenging to control the assembly across multiple length scales …

The fabrication and application of supramolecular gels have achieved great progress in the
past few decades. Although several reviews and books have well summarized the design …

The reversible in situ formation of a self‐assembly building block (naphthalenediimide (NDI)–
dipeptide conjugate) by enzymatic condensation of NDI‐functionalized tyrosine (NDI‐Y) and …

Enantiomeric glutamate gelators containing a spiropyran moiety are designed and found to
self‐assemble into a nanohelix through gelation. Upon alternating UV and visible light …

Aqueous solutions of the achiral, monomeric, nucleobase mimics (2, 4, 6‐
triaminopyrimidine, TAP, and a cyanuric acid derivative, CyCo6) spontaneously assemble …

The hypothesis that RNA and DNA are products of chemical and biological evolution has
motivated our search for alternative nucleic acids that may have come earlier in the …
