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 …

Pathway complexity, hierarchical organization, out of equilibrium, and metastable or
kinetically trapped species are common terms widely used in recent, high‐quality …

When many of the currently largest chemical companies were founded about 150 years ago,
textile dyes constituted their first products. Interestingly, while most of the utilized colorants …

Supramolecular polymerization has been traditionally focused on the thermodynamic
equilibrium state, where one-dimensional assemblies reside at the global minimum of the …

This review discusses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers that form in aqueous
media. First, naturally occurring supramolecular polymers are described, in particular …

The mechanism of supramolecular polymerization has been elucidated for an archetype
organogelator molecule composed of a perylene bisimide aromatic scaffold and two amide …

Controlling polymorphism in molecular solids is of great interest since the properties and
performances of molecular materials depend on the molecules' mutual packing …

Chirality is a particularly important concept in nature and exists at all length scales, ranging
from the molecular level to the supramolecular level. Over the last two decades, various …

Perylene bisimides are among the most valuable functional dyes and have numerous
potential applications. As a result of their chemical robustness, photostability, and …

Noncovalent systems are adaptive and allow facile processing and recycling. Can they be at
the same time robust? How can one rationally design such systems? Can they compete with …
