Nanostructured proton conductors having hexagonal and cubic structures were constructed by the self-assembly of zwitterionic ionic liquids. These nanostructured proton conductors all exhibited an assembled-structure dependent proton conduction behavior.

In this work, perylene bisimide derivatives (PBI-1 and PBI-2) with tertiary amine groups were designed and synthesized. To control the final morphologies and properties of their aggregates, seven kinds of organic acids were used to alter the self-assembly environment. The influence of organic acids on the morphology of the aggregates was investigated. Photophysical properties of the aggregates were markedly affected by the kind and concentration of the organic acid. The thermal and gas sensitivities of the PBI-1 aggregates were studied with the use of UV–visible spectroscopy and digital imaging. The shift of the UV–visible spectra varied with time, temperature, acid type and acid concentration. Furthermore, PBI-1 aggregates showed a red-to-blue color change after addition of seven organic acids, whereas the color of the PBI-2 aggregates remained red. These changes of morphologies, photophysical properties and their thermal and gas sensitivities make these aggregates potentially useful in the fields of optoelectronics or sensors.

Lyotropic liquid crystals are fluids with macroscopic anisotropic structures formed by the self-assembly of nonspherically-symmetric mesogenic molecules or nanoparticles. Here, lyotropic liquid crystalline phases with discotic-nematic orderings were observed in colloidal dispersions of hexagonal-shaped nanoplatelets of two-dimensional layered hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites (with formula A<sub>2</sub>BX<sub>4</sub> where A<sup>1+</sup> is an organic ammonium cation, B<sup>2+</sup> is a divalent metal cation, and X<sup>1-</sup> is a halide anion) synthesized via microcrystallization by mixing precursor solutions with antisolvents containing surfactants, which showed semiconducting properties such as blue to green photoluminescence. As nanocrystalline perovskites are compositionally (transition metals like manganese, copper or europium as octahedral unit centers, mixed halides, organic spacers with chirality, etc.), microscopic structurally (three-, two-, or one-dimensional), and geometrically (nanosheets or nanorods) adjustable, liquid crystals with different phase behaviors and physical features (e.g., paramagnetism) may be systematically developed using this method.<br>
