A dual redox-responsive pillar[6]arene-based supramolecular amphiphile was fabricated in water. The self-assembly behavior of this supramolecular amphiphile in response to dual redox stimuli was investigated.

There are two molecular processes that are essential for living bodies to maintain their life: the molecular recognition, and the self-organization or self-assembly. Binding of a substrate by an enzyme is an example of the molecular recognition, while the protein folding is a good example of the self-organization process. The two processes are further governed by the other two physicochemical processes: solvation and the structural fluctuation. In the present article, the studies concerning the two molecular processes carried out by Hirata and his coworkers, based on the statistical mechanics of molecular liquids or the RISM/3D-RISM theory, are reviewed.

ABSTRACTMolecular recognition is central to the self-assembly of catenanes and rotaxanes. The design criteria for efficient formation of these compounds is gradually becoming clear. Selfassembly of mechanically-interlocked compounds is heading apace towards the nanometre scale.

Thermal and light dual-responsive supramolecular colloidal microcapsules have been successfully prepared by combining cucurbit[8]uril-based host–guest recognition with the self-assembly of colloidal particles within microfluidic droplets.

Self-assembling may be defined as the spontaneous association of material units into structures that are often capable of cyclic reorganization and functional behavior.

We report the fabrication of pillar[5]arene (P[5]A) stabilized MCs via the self-assembly and crosslinking of P[5]A nanoaggregates at the liquid–liquid interface. These P[5]A MCs microengines turn on fluid flow in the presence of paraquat (PQ) due to host–guest molecular recognition.
