Supramolecular reactions are of importance in many fields. We report herein three examples where complexes of hydrazone-based ligands are involved. A Ag-double-helicate was converted, by treatment with Zn(OTf), into a Zn-grid (exchange of metal ions and change of the nature of the initial complex). A Pb-grid was converted, upon reaction with ZnCl or ZnBr, into a Zn-grid (exchange of metal ions, but conservation of the nature of the initial complex). The reverse conversions were also achieved. The fusion of a Ag-double-helicate with another Ag-double-helicate was performed (exchange of ligands, but conservation of the nature of the complexes) and resulted in a mixture of three helicates (two homostranded ones and one heterostranded one).

As a key means to solve energy and environmental problems, photocatalytic technology has made remarkable progress in recent years. Organic semiconductor materials offer structural diversity and tunable energy levels and thus attracted great attention. Among them, porphyrin and its derivatives show great potential in photocatalytic reactions and light therapy due to their unique large-π conjugation structure, high apparent quantum efficiency, tailorable functionality, and excellent biocompatibility.

Flexible wearable sensors with bimodal functionality offer substantial value for human health monitoring, as relying on a single indicator is insufficient for capturing comprehensive physiological information. However, bimodal sensors face multiple challenges in practical applications, including mutual interference between various modalities, and integration of excellent mechanical properties, interfacial adhesion, environmental adaptability and biocompatibility. Herein, the multifunctional hydrogel, synthesized through radical grafting and supramolecular self-crosslinking reactions, exhibits excellent thermal sensitivity (TCR = -1.

The complex formation of the cationic stilbene-type photoswitch CP with the anionic macrocycles carboxylato-pillar[5]arene (WP5) and carboxylato-pillar[6]arene (WP6) has been investigated in aqueous solution by optical spectroscopic, NMR and isothermal calorimetric experiments and theoretical calculations. Subsequently, the photoisomerization reactions of the supramolecular complexes formed have been studied. CP consists of a 7-diethylamino-coumarin fluorophore and an -methylpyridinium unit, which are connected via an ethene bridge.

Zigzag aromatic hydrocarbon belts, ultrashort segments of zigzag carbon nanotubes, have been fascinating in the chemistry community for more than a half century because of their aesthetically appealing molecular nanostructures and tantalizing applications. Precise introduction of heteroatoms of distinct electronegativity and electronic configuration can create various heterocyclic aromatic nanobelts with novel physical and chemical properties. Here, we report the synthesis of unprecedented N-doped zigzag-type aromatic belts, belt[]pyrrole[]pyridines ( = 6-8), from multiple intramolecular C-C homocoupling reactions of readily available azacalix[](3,5-dibromopyridine)s.
