Lanthanide-containing functional complexes have found a variety of applications in materials science and biomedicine because their unique electroptical magnetic properties. However, the poor stability solubility water multicomponent lanthanide organic assemblies significantly limit practical applications. We report here series water-stable anionic Ln2nL3n-type (n = 2, 3, 4, 5) polyhedra (LOPs) constructed by deprotonation self-assembly three fully conjugated ligands (H4L1 H4L2a/b) featuring...

In the field of supramolecular chemistry, host-guest systems have been extensively explored to encapsulate a wide range substrates, owing emerging functionalities in nanoconfined space that cannot be achieved dilute solutions. However, chemistry is still limited encapsulation small guests. Herein, we construct water-soluble metallo-supramolecular hexagonal prism with large hydrophobic cavity by anchoring multiple polyethylene glycol chains onto building blocks. Then, assembled prisms are...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an emerging cancer treatment, requires the development of highly desirable photosensitizers (PSs) with integrated functional groups to achieve enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Coordination-driven self-assembly (CDSA) would provide alternative approach for combining multiple PSs synergistically. Here, we demonstrate a simple yet powerful strategy conventional chromophores (tetraphenylethylene, porphyrin, or Zn-porphyrin) pyridinium salt together through...

The strength and toughness are two trade-off properties of a material, yet Nature can achieve strong tough materials by introducing sacrificial bonds into system. Here, we present four-component multiblock copolymer (mBCP) approach toward elastic fibers, terpyridine moieties poly(ether ester) mBCP elastomers. After coordination with Fe(II), supramolecular cross-links formed within the physically cross-linked thermoplastic toughening fibers double-cross-linked network structure show high...

We demonstrate here the synthesis of a novel class metallo-supramolecular polymers with shackled structure, via coordination cyclic di(bis-terpyridine-triphenyl ether ester) ligands ruthenium(II) ions. The constraint from ring topology shackling provides properties to these polymers, including formation dendritic crystals, red-shift absorption bands in UV–vis spectra interchain charge-transfer transitions, and typical flash-type memory behavior.
