Chemical fuel-driven gelation with dissipative assembly-induced emission

Abstract

Fuel-driven dissipative self-assembly is ubiquitous in living systems, such as the formation of microtubules and mitotic spindle. The study of out-of-equilibrium materials is of great significance for the development of...

Supramolecular dissipative self‐assembly systems: Approaches and applications

“…Generated esters are subsequently and spontaneously hydrolyzed in a basic environment, resulting in the hydrogel's self‐abolishing characteristic. Wang's group also presented a dimethyl sulfate‐fueled hydrogel system based on hydrophilic multiple‐carboxylate‐anion molecules [90] . EDC is another typical chemical fuel employed in the fabrication of dissipative hydrogels with a tunable lifetime and self‐regulation features [91,92] .…”

A pillar[5]arene-based artificial light-harvesting system with red emission for high-resolution imaging of latent fingerprints

“…[16][17][18] However, AIE fluorophores such as tetraphenylethylene (TPE) typically exhibit short-wavelength emission (λ em around 450 nm) with blue fluorescence. [19][20][21][22] Recently, supramolecular light-harvesting systems (LHSs) based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) have attracted significant interest due to their great potential in photocatalysis, bio-imaging and tunable photoluminescent devices. [23][24][25][26][27] An artificial LHS with high energy harvesting efficiency should have a high donor/ acceptor (D/A) ratio, enabling the co-assembly of a tiny amount of ACQ dye as an energy acceptor into a large number of AIE donors to achieve long-wavelength and even red emission.…”

Pillar[5]arene‐Based AIE Supramolecular Polymer Networks Exhibiting Various Fluorescence to Achieve Visible Surveillance

“…[5][6][7] Classifying according to the type of non-covalent interactions, the driving forces forming SPNs encompass hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, π-π donor-acceptor effects, host-guest recognition, etc. [8][9][10][11][12] In particular, different from other types, host-guest recognition often contains multiple non-covalent interactions. This not only confers good binding ability and abundant stimulus responsiveness to the host-guest complexes, but also provides them with a certain degree of directionality.…”

“…This is why SPNs have been widely utilized in a number of fields including self‐healing materials, memory materials, expansion molding materials, adhesives and information storage [5–7] . Classifying according to the type of non‐covalent interactions, the driving forces forming SPNs encompass hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, π‐π donor‐acceptor effects, host–guest recognition, etc [8–12] . In particular, different from other types, host–guest recognition often contains multiple non‐covalent interactions.…”
