Organic cocrystals obtained from multicomponent self-assembly have garnered considerable attention due to their distinct phosphorescence properties and broad applications. Yet, there been limited reports on cocrystal systems that showcase efficient deep-red near-infrared (NIR) charge-transfer (CT) phosphorescence. Furthermore, effective strategies modulate the emission pathways of both fluorescence remain underexplored. In this work, we dedicated our work four self-assembled called "pyrene...
Dynamic chemical devices involve morphological or constitutional modifications in molecular supramolecular systems, induced by internal external physical triggers. Reversible changes shape result motions and define motional dynamic presenting mechanical-like actions of various types. Suitably designed polyheterocyclic strands such as compounds 1–5 wrap into helical conformations. The binding lead(II) ions to the coordination subunits contained strand leads complete uncoiling yields a...
The self-assembly of ureido crown-ether derivatives has been examined in homogeneous solution, the solid state, and planar bilayer membranes. is driven by head-to-tail hydrogen bonding between urea functional groups. Dimers higher oligomers are formed CDCl3 solution as assessed change NH chemical shift a function concentration. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that an antiparallel association ureas produces columnar channels composed face-to-face crown ethers. Powder studies also show...

Aquaporins (AQPs) are biological water channels known for fast transport (∼10(8)-10(9) molecules/s/channel) with ion exclusion. Few synthetic have been designed to mimic this high permeability, and none reject ions at a significant level. Selective translocation has previously shown depend on water-wires spanning the AQP pore that reverse their orientation, combined correlated channel motions. No quantitative correlation between dipolar orientation of effects proton reported. Here, we use...
Dynamic covalent polymers have emerged as intriguing, new materials with unique properties. In this article, their synthesis, properties, and applications in the biomedical field been reviewed.
The imine-bond formation on chitosan backbones occurs with very low yields in aqueous solutions and is significantly improved hydrogels or solid state films. dynamic exchanges of imino-R groups colour transfer can occur at the interfaces between various
Going through the channels: Synthetic scaffolds mimicking natural protein functions have been developed that allow water/proton or only water translocation pathways in bilayer membranes (see picture). The ion-exclusion behaviors of synthetic systems are based on hydrophobic dimensional steric effects, while hydrodynamic effects appear to be less important.
Natural KcsA K(+) channels conduct at high rates with an extraordinary selectivity for cations, excluding the Na(+) or other cations. Biomimetic artificial have been designed in order to mimick ionic activity of KcSA channels, but simple systems presenting K(+)/Na(+) are rare. Here we report ion channel H-bonded hexyl-benzoureido-15-crown-5-ether, where cations highly preferred The K(+)-channel conductance is interpreted as arising formation oligomeric cooperative resulting cation-induced...
Chiral dipolar oriented water wires are observed inside artificial channels embedded in supported bilayer membranes.
A hydrophobic light-driven rotary motor is functionalized with two 18-crown-6 macrocycles and incorporated into phospholipid bilayers. In the presence of this molecular construct, fluorescence assays patch clamp experiments show formation selective alkali ion channels through membrane. Further, they reveal a strongly accelerated transport mechanism under light irradiation. This increase fractional activity (up to 400%) attributed out-of-equilibrium actuation dynamics motors, which help...

Constitutional self-instructed membranes were developed and used for mimicking the adaptive structural functionality of natural ion-channel systems. These are based on dynamic hybrid materials in which functional self-organized macrocycles reversibly connected with inorganic silica through hydrophobic noncovalent interactions. Supramolecular columnar architectures can be generated by reversible confinement within scaffolding mesopores. They structurally determined using X-ray diffraction...

Monomeric was first isolated in substantial quantity by confining it within molecular shell, but has eluded full structural...
Dynamic interactive systems are defined by networks of exchanging and reversibly connected objects (supermolecules, polymers, biomolecules, biopolymers, pores, nanoplatforms, surfaces, liposomes, cells). They operate under natural selection to allow spatial/temporal structural/functional adaptability in response internal constitutional or external stimulant factors. Herein we will discuss some selected examples hybrid organic/inorganic materials (SYSMAT), covering (a) the sol-gel resolution...
