An efficient and metal-free method has been developed for the synthesis of polysubstituted pyrrole derivatives with combination of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and Triton X-100 surfactants using water as a solvent at room temperature in 2–6 h and under microwave conditions (10 min) with good to excellent yields.

Using a hydrothermal synthesis, the self-assembly of MnII ions and 1,4-bis(1-imidazol-yl)-2,5-dimethyl benzene with two dicarboxylate ligands, 2-nitrobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (2-H2ata) and 5-methylbenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (5-CH3-H2ip) constructed two interesting coordination polymers: [Mn(2-ata)(bimb)]n (1) and {[Mn(5-CH3-ip)(bimb)1.5]·2H2O}n (2), where bimb refers to 1,4-bis(1-imidazol-yl)-2,5-dimethyl benzene. Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. Complex 1 exhibits a 2-fold interpenetrated pcu net. Complex 2 shows an unusual polycatenated 2D+2D→3D framework. In addition, the solid-state photoluminescent properties of 1 and 2 were investigated at room temperature.

Although the impact of individual functional groups on the self-assembly of columnar liquid crystal phases has been widely studied, the effect of varying multiple substituents has received much less attention. Herein, we report a series of dibenzo[a,c]phenazines containing an alcohol or ether adjacent to an electron-withdrawing ester or acid. With one exception, these difunctional mesogens form columnar phases. The phase behavior appeared to be dominated by the electron-withdrawing substituent; transition temperatures were similar to derivatives with these groups in isolation. In most instances, the addition of an electron-donating group ortho to an ester or acid suppressed the melting temperature and elevated the clearing temperature, leading to broader liquid crystal thermal ranges. This effect was more pronounced for derivatives functionalized with longer chain hexyloxy groups. These results suggest a potential strategy for controlling the phase ranges of columnar liquid crystals and achieving room temperature mesophases.

A solution of oleanolic acid, a renewable nano-sized monohydroxy triterpenic acid in tetrahydrofuran, transformed into a gel instantly at room temperature on treatment with aqueous ammonia. Study of the self-assembly properties of ammonium oleanolate in water and aqueous solvent mixtures indicated that it self-assembles in the aqueous solvent mixtures forming gels in DMSO-water and DMF-water. Fibrillar networks with optical birefringence properties were observed by polarized optical microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy of the dried gel samples indicated fibrillar networks with fibers of nano to micrometer diameters. The thermodynamic parameters calculated from the gel to sol transition temperatures indicated the stability of the gels. A gel-gold nanoparticles hybrid material has also been prepared and characterized by HRTEM, EDX, SAED and surface Plasmon resonance studies.

The self-assembly of chiral porphyrin molecules HpD (hematoporphyrin IX derivative) has been shown to form helical fibers in low salt aqueous conditions. The spectroscopic (UV and circular dichroism (CD)), thermodynamic (Tm, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)) and microscopic (light and scanning force microscopy (SFM)) examinations of the HpD properties were performed individually and in the presence of nucleic acid double strands (15–60 °C, 0–50 mM NaCl ). The asymmetric HpD molecules themselves at room temperature show sharp positive or negative CD signals, which increase enormously with HpD concentration. The data show strong evidence for the external self-stacking interaction of HpD , pure and in the presence of polynucleotides. At low salt concentration (<40 mM NaCl , pH 7) the spectra change completely by increasing the temperature. At 35 to 40 °C RNA-similar spectra of the pure HpD self-assemblies (without nucleic acids) occur. At higher temperatures the aggregates become unstable and break off. At room temperature the helical structure of the fibers could be visualized by SFM investigations. Molecular modeling analysis offers dynamic arrangements of the self-assemblies from stacks to spiral-like superstructures with increasing temperature. Hydrogen bonding, electron transferring and electrostatic interactions determine the shape of the proposed highly flexible arrangements. Moreover, the interrelation between the HpD stacks and the helix of the polynucleotides was studied. The calculated low transition energies indicate the importance of these structures as a crossing link. All data are discussed in favor of a hypothetical evolutionary matrix role in porphyrin self-assembly for RNA.

It is still a challenge to find a suitable method to fabricate a well-defined homochiral surface from achiral molecules, and one of the possible methods is to modify surfaces with organic molecular assemblies. Large-area chiral self-assembly nanostructures have been observed at room temperature by depositing ZnPc molecules on a Cu(111) surface. The growth process has been investigated. ZnPc molecules get adsorbed first at the terrace steps, and then extend over the lower terrace until the whole terrace is covered with ZnPc molecules; such growth process would be stopped when the self-assembly nanostructure run into a decorated upper terrace step edge. We found that the terrace steps with specific directions with respect to the close-packed directions of the substrate can induce homochiral self-assembly on the lower terraces. So we can propose a possible way to fabricate a well-defined homochiral surface from achiral organic molecules.

<p>We report for the very first time the self-assembly of<a> </a>Fmoc variant 2-(9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-(tert-butoxy)butanoic acid of threonine (<b>Fmoc-Thr(tbu)-OH</b>) and <a>of serine (</a><b>Fmoc-</b><b>Ser(tbu)-OH</b>. The self-assembled structure formation of Fmoc variants of threonine and serine were examined under varying concentration and temperature conditions..Our studies reveal that the self-assembled structures formed by <b>Fmoc-Thr(tbu)-OH </b>and <b>Fmoc-Ser(tbu)-OH </b>reveal morphological transitions at the supramolecular level as we alter its concentration and temperature. <b>Fmoc-Thr(tbu)-OH </b>self-assembles to sphere at lower concentration which changes to dumb-bell shapes at higher concentration under room temperature conditions. When the solution at lower concentration is heated the spheres changes to rods while the dumb bell shapes at higher concentrations change to elongated dumb-bell-rod like morphologies. <b>Fmoc-Ser(tbu)-OH </b>on<b> </b>the other hand give flower like morphologies at lower concentration which changes to long rods at higher concentration. On heating at higher temperature 70 <sup>ο</sup>C flower-like structures change to small rods while the long rods obtained at higher concentration changes to big flower-like structures. The controlled morphological changes noted in the modified single amino acids is very interesting and pave the way for the design of novel self-assembled architectures for applications in material science and nanotechnology.</p>
