Azobenzene-substituted tris(phenylisoxazolyl)benzene 1 was developed as a photoresponsive gelator. A detailed study of the self-assembly of the trans- and cis-isomers in solution revealed that the planar trans-isomer assembled to form molecular stacks along its C 3 axis, whereas the cis-isomer did not owing to steric requirements. Based on diffusion ordered spectroscopy experiments, the size of the aggregates formed from the trans-isomer were roughly four times as large as those of the cis-isomer. The photoinduced gel-to-sol transition was achieved by irradiation with UV light at 360 nm. Solid-state morphologies of the trans- and cis-isomers were quite contrastive; the trans-isomer created fibrous supramolecular networks with a lot of voids in which solvent molecules could be immobilized, whereas the cis-isomer never created such fibrous morphologies. The trans–cis structural change of the azobenzene moieties obviously regulates the gelation ability of 1.

In the title compound, [HgCl2(C16H28N2Se)], the primary geometry around the Se and Hg atoms is distorted trigonal–pyramidal and distorted square-pyramidal, respectively. The distortion of the molecular geometry in the complex is caused by the steric demands of the ligands attached to the Se atom. The Hg atom is coordinated through two chloride anions, an N atom and an Se atom, making up an unusual HgNSeCl2 coordination sphere with an additional long Hg...N interaction. Intermolecular C—H...Cl interactions are the only identified intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions that seem to be responsible for the self assembly. These relatively weak C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds possess the required linearity and donor–acceptor distances. They act as molecular associative forces that result in a supramolecular assembly along the b-axis direction in the solid state of the title compound.

Two new polymeric MnII complexes, {[Mn(1,2-BDC-F4)(H2O)3](EtOH)}n (1) and [Mn(1,2- BDC-F4)(H2O)2(DMF)]n (2), have been prepared from the reaction of MnII acetate with 3,4,5,6- tetrafluoro-benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (1,2-H2BDC-F4) using different solvents, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, and single-crystal Xray structure analysis. Both complexes crystallize in the triclinic space group P1̄ and have similar one-dimensional double chain structures, consisting of a unique arrangement of 8-membered and 14- membered rings. The effects of solvent as ligand and/or guest on the self-assembly processes of the supramolecular networks and on their photoluminescence properties in the solid state are discussed.

The supramolecular assembly is significant in host–guest chemistry. In this work, a new supramolecular system assembled through a distorted cuboid was introduced. Moreover, the [4 + 4] cycloaddition reaction of the guest molecules was further studied under UV light.

With the current advances in our understanding of molecular components in the solid-state world, the relation between energy and geometry remains controversial. In this study, we deliver a concise account for supramolecular chemistry, and in order to illustrate some of its concepts we describe some structural and theoretical analyses for two unique cases of our work. We elaborate on a supramolecular model of controlled “one-pot” host–guest metal-mediated self-assembly reaction inside iron coordination polymer grid architecture, and we review halogen bonding by specifically observing M–Cl···Cl–M intermolecular interactions using Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) hit analyses with theoretical calculations.

The present article reviews the self-assembly of oligopeptides to form nanostructures, both in solution and in solid state. The solution structures of the peptides were examined using circular dichroism and dynamic light scattering. The solid state assembly was examined by adsorbing the peptides onto a mica surface and analyzing it using atomic force microscopy. The role of pH and salt concentration on the peptide self-assembly was also examined. Nanostructures within a size range of 3–10 nm were obtained under different conditions.
