Article Abstract
We designed 0D, 1D, and 2D supramolecular assemblies made of diaryliodonium salts (functioning as double σ-hole donors) and carboxylates (as σ-hole acceptors). The association was based on two charge-supported halogen bonds (XB), which occurred between I sites of the iodonium cations and the carboxylate anions. The sequential introduction of the carboxylic groups in the aryl ring of the benzoic acid added a dimension to the 0D supramolecular organization of the benzoate, which furnished 1D-chained and 2D-layered structures when terephthalate and trimesate anions, correspondingly, were applied as XB acceptors. The structure-directing XB were studied using DFT calculations under periodic boundary conditions and were followed by the one-electron-potential analysis and the Bader atoms-in-molecules topological analysis of electron density. These theoretical methods confirmed the existence of the XB and verified the philicities of the interaction partners in the designed solid-state structures.

Here, we report a dimension-tunable supramolecular organic framework (SOF) with chiral pore channels, which shows selective guest encapsulation and enhanced circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). SOFs from a chiral para-substituted bis-naphthalene bis-urea (PNU) are fabricated by both vapor diffusion crystallization and an antisolvent self-assembly approach, leading to the formation of one-dimensional (1D) micrometer-sized single crystal and two-dimensional (2D) plate-like and three-dimensional (3D) octahedral self-assembled microstructures, respectively. The similar permanent porosity of these dimension-tunable chiral SOFs is collectively proved by N adsorption-desorption experiments, single-crystal structure, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Chiral macrocycles have attracted considerable attention because of their fascinating circular chiral topologies, circularly distributed electronic structures, and excellent chiroptical features. However, the challenging synthesis and limited cases hinder the understanding, improvement, and regulation of their optoelectronic properties. To avoid this dilemma, we employed cyclic Suzuki-Miyaura coupling between dithienylethene (DTE) and [6]helicene to firstly synthesize donor-acceptor (D-A)-type π-conjugated chiral macrocycles, including m-[1 + 1], m-[2 + 2], and m-[3 + 3], where these compounds displayed photocontrollable ring sizes and chiroptical properties.

Molecular helices are ubiquitous in biological systems and play key roles in life functions such as recognition, coding and transferring information, replication, catalytic activity, among others. They can have different handedness and dimensions from molecular to macroscale but the exact mechanisms for their formation are still elusive. , they are formed from homochiral building blocks (L-amino acids and D-carbohydrates) by complex, orchestrated supramolecular aggregation processes.

In this study, a series of novel alkoxylated resorcinarenes were synthesized using secondary and tertiary alcohols under mild catalytic conditions involving iminodiacetic acid. Structural characterization, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction, confirmed the successful incorporation of branched alkyl chains and highlighted the influence of substitution patterns on molecular packing. Notably, detailed mass spectrometric analysis revealed that, under specific conditions, the reaction pathway may shift toward the formation of defined oligomeric species with supramolecular characteristics-an observation that adds a new dimension to the synthetic potential of this system.

Background: Understanding cell membrane-like lipid bilayers is crucial for studying fundamental biological mechanisms. Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) are key tools for this investigation and have applications in both synthetic biology and, more recently, in microrobotics. The effects of cholesterol, a key component of cellular membranes, on synthetic phospholipid membrane models like GUVs are however not fully understood, as they may vary with lipid composition and production method.
