“…Recently, several emerging properties 26,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] of planar fluorophores have been observed in mixed solvents. One of them is supramolecular gelation [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61] . It is clear from the gelation table that the gelator is insoluble in water and soluble in DMSO.…”
Here, we are reporting for the first time a simple naphthalimide derivative that undergoes assembly in the J-type manner in the solid, solution and gel state. It shows the aggregation-induced emission property and has been used for cell imaging.

“…77,78 Furthermore, the chirality of a polymer or supramolecular fibre also dominates the assembly behaviour. 79,80 For instance, Wu et al reported the self-sorting behaviours of helical polyisocyanide in their bulk state and gel state. 79 Zhao and co-workers also reported a pair of gelators with similar structures and the same chirality, but they formed different chiral fibres when assembled individually.…”

“…79 Zhao and co-workers also reported a pair of gelators with similar structures and the same chirality, but they formed different chiral fibres when assembled individually. 80 When they were mixed, two gelators formed self-sorted fibres with opposite chirality.…”
Self-assembly to build high-level structures, which is ubiquitous in living systems, has captured the imagination of scientists, striving to emulate the intricacy, homogeneity and versatility of the naturally occurring systems,...
“…Supramolecular assemblies based on complementary ionic forces, 14 H-bonding interactions [15][16][17][18] or reversible covalent bond formation 7,19 can also display selfsorting behaviour. Amongst bio-inspired soft-matter materials, orthogonal self-assembly of surfactants may lead to interpenetrating networks of fibrillar networks [20][21][22][23][24][25] or to their co-existence with liposomes 26 or liquid crystal bolaamphiphiles, whereas the combination of H-bonding and hydrophobic units can provide self-sorting in micelles. 27 The concept of self-sorting is crucial for understanding the formation of complex biological systems and carries great potential for bio-organic materials.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
