The construction of redox-active supramolecular assemblies based on star-shaped and radially expanded tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) oligomers with divergent and extended conjugation is summarized. Star-shaped TTF oligomers easily self-aggregate with a nanophase separation to produce supramolecular structures, and their TTF units stack face-to-face to form columnar structures using the fastener effect. Based on redox-active self-organizing supramolecular structures, conducting nanoobjects are constructed by doping of TTF oligomers with oxidants after the formation of such nanostructures. Although radical cations derived from TTF oligomers strongly interact in solution to produce a mixed-valence dimer and π-dimer, it seems to be difficult to produce nanoobjects of radical cations different from those of neutral TTF oligomers. In some cases, however, radical cations form nanostructured fibers and rods by controlling the supramolecular assembly, oxidation states, and counter anions employed.

AbstractDissipative self-assembly, which requires a continuous supply of fuel to maintain the assembled states far from equilibrium, is the foundation of biological systems. Among a variety of fuels, light, the original fuel of natural dissipative self-assembly, is fundamentally important but remains a challenge to introduce into artificial dissipative self-assemblies. Here, we report an artificial dissipative self-assembly system that is constructed from light-induced amphiphiles. Such dissipative supramolecular assembly is easily performed using protonated sulfonato-merocyanine and chitosan based molecular and macromolecular components in water. Light irradiation induces the assembly of supramolecular nanoparticles, which spontaneously disassemble in the dark due to thermal back relaxation of the molecular switch. Owing to the presence of light-induced amphiphiles and the thermal dissociation mechanism, the lifetimes of these transient supramolecular nanoparticles are highly sensitive to temperature and light power and range from several minutes to hours. By incorporating various fluorophores into transient supramolecular nanoparticles, the processes of aggregation-induced emission and aggregation-caused quenching, along with periodic variations in fluorescent color over time, have been demonstrated. Transient supramolecular assemblies, which act as fluorescence modulators, can also function in human hepatocellular cancer cells.

Summary We report a novel approach that is based on the complexation and supramolecular assembly of an amino-amide and maleic acid to control viscosity of aqueous displacement fluids. It is shown that the addition of only 2 wt% of adaptable amphiphile/maleic acid into water increases the viscosity of water by a factor of 4.5×105. This superior viscosity behavior is ascribed to the formation and entanglements of layered cylindrical supramolecular assemblies with diameters of several hundred nanometers. Furthermore, the viscosity of the amphiphile solution can be increased 12 times by changing pH from 4 to 8 in a reversible manner. Such a property can be very beneficial for oil-recovery applications when the injectivity becomes a limitation. In addition, the use of switchable viscosity can reduce the energy cost associated with pumping large volumes of viscous displacement fluids. We also demonstrate the proof of concept for the use of adaptable amphiphile solutions in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) as oil-displacement fluids through column experiments. Overall, this study shows that pH-switchable supramolecular assemblies have very intriguing properties that can significantly affect EOR technologies.

The enthalpies of solution of naphthalene, N,N-dimethyl-1-naphthylamine, and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (proton sponge) were determined at 298.15 K in 16 organic solvents (n-hexane, cyclohexane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, benzene, chlorobenzene, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethyl acetate, 1,4-dioxane, anisole, nitrobenzene, benzonitrile, methanol, ethanol). Additional determinations were made with benzene. Useful linear relationships are observed between the molar enthalpies of solution of the four compounds in the solvents. The molar enthalpies of solution were correlated with the solvatochromic parameter of the solvents. The presence of N(CH3)2 groups on naphthalene does not significantly contribute to the solute–solvent interactions.
