Organic molecular aggregates have attracted widespread attention over the past decade
owing to their unique optoelectronic properties in the aggregate state, which mainly involves …

Chiral π-conjugated molecules provide new materials with outstanding features for current
and perspective applications, especially in the field of optoelectronic devices. In thin films …

Supramolecular functional materials represent an emerging class of materials that have
been governed by the supramolecular chemistry of self-assembled molecules. Such high …

Supramolecular polymers exhibit fascinating structures, and their properties, and thus
applications, depend both on the strength and dynamics of the non-covalent bonds and on …

The electronic excited states of molecular aggregates and their photophysical signatures
have long fascinated spectroscopists and theoreticians alike since the advent of Frenkel …

In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

Importing self-repair or self-healing features into inert materials is of great relevance to
material scientists, since it is expected to eliminate the necessity of replenishing a damaged …

Cooperative phenomena are common processes involved in the hierarchical self-assembly
of multiple systems in nature, such as the tobacco mosaic virus and a cell's cytoskeleton …

1.1 Background In his historic review titled “Polymerization” in Chemical Reviews of 1931,
Wallace H. Carothers described his brilliant ideas about the rapidly develo** field of …

Organic materials naturally lend themselves to the crafting of structure and function using the
strategies of self-assembly and supramolecular chemistry employed so effectively by …
