“…Using smaller molecular building blocks, an elegant templated self-assembly [203][204][205] approach yielding pure oligomeric structures of well-defined length is the Vernier principle. 206,207 Hunter has shown that two molecules, which contain a different number (n and m) of mutually complementary binding sites, separated by the same distance, interact with each other to form an assembly of accurate length (n 3 m).…”

The self-assembly into supramolecular polymers is a process driven by reversible non-covalent interactions between monomers, and gives access to materials applications incorporating mechanical, biological, optical or electronic functionalities. Compared to the achievements in precision polymer synthesis via living and controlled covalent polymerization processes, supramolecular chemists have only just learned how to developed strategies that allow similar control over polymer length, (co)monomer sequence and morphology (random, alternating or blocked ordering). This highlight article discusses the unique opportunities that arise when coassembling multicomponent supramolecular polymers, and focusses on four strategies in order to control the polymer architecture, size, stability and its stimuli-responsive properties: (1) endcapping of supramolecular polymers, (2) biomimetic templated polymerization, (3) controlled selectivity and reactivity in supramolecular copolymerization, and (4) living supramolecular polymerization. In contrast to the traditional focus on equilibrium systems, our emphasis is also on the manipulation of selfassembly kinetics of synthetic supramolecular systems. V C 2016

“…More recently, topological templates have become a versatile tool in peptide mimicry, and their full potential is only now about to be recognized. 10 In view of the expanding areas of applications and functions, topological templates may be generally characterized as synthetic devices, that orient functional groups or structural units in welldefined spatial arrangements. Typically, template molecules represent structural motifs such as constrained peptides, cyclodextrines, or polycyclic systems disposing selectively addressable functional groups.…”

“…Chemical templates have an important role in the formation of complexes containing multiple components that have defined structural assemblies [1,2]. Several previous studies have shown that geometries and sizes of ligands, the coordinating ability of anions, and the nature of metals are all important in determining the structures of such complexes [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”
