A novel supramolecular metallogel, termed Hg-SA, was synthesized using succinic acid (SA) as a low molecular weight gelator in a DMF solvent under standard conditions. The mechanical properties of the Hg-SA metallogel were evaluated through rheological tests, specifically focusing on the angular frequency and strain sweep measurements. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results revealed the rod-like network structure of Hg-SA, while energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) elemental mapping confirmed its composition. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy provided insights into the formation mechanism of the synthesized Hg-SA metallogel. The antimicrobial activity of the metallogel was tested against Gram-positive bacteria and as well as Gram-negative bacteria and , revealing its significant antibacterial potency. Thus, this study highlights the antimicrobial effects of Hg(ii)-based succinic acid-mediated metallogels against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

A new cobalt complex, bis-[tris-(amino-thio-urea)cobalt(III)] bis-[2-(carb-oxy-methyl)-2-hy-droxy-butane-dioato]cobalt(II) tetra-nitrate tetra-hydrate, [Co(CHNS)][Co(CHO)](NO)·2HO, designated as [Co(tsc)][Co(cit)](NO)·4HO, was synthesized. Two crystallographically independent cobalt centers are present. In the first, the central metal atom is chelated by three thio-semicarbazide ligands in a bidentate fashion whereas the second, positioned on a crystallographic inversion center, is hexa-coordinated by two citrate anions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry.

In this study, a novel linear supramolecular polypseudorotaxane was synthesized using a pillar[5]arene derivative (CP5) as the host and bis-bromohexyl pillar[5]arene (DP5) as the guest, facilitated by host-guest interactions. Subsequently, these components self-assembled to create an AIE-active material (CPDP-G) through C-H⋯π interactions involving the pillar[5]arene groups. Notably, the CPDP-G fluorescence material exhibits an exceptionally sensitive response to Fe, with a detection limit of 0.

Elucidating the underlying mechanism of effective chirality and energy transfer processes observed in biological assemblies has cross-disciplinary significance, and it is of special interest in the fields of chemistry and biology due to the pivotal role of chirality in life. Challenges in the field include how to achieve real-time monitoring of the chirality and energy transfer dynamics simultaneously, as well as how to distinguish whether these processes take place in the ground or excited state. Herein, we achieve the first attempt at real-time observation of the concerted ultrafast dynamics between the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the generation of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in the excited state in near-infrared CPL supramolecular nanofibers (SNFs) by using femtosecond time-resolved circularly polarized luminescence (fs-TRCPL) spectroscopy.

A novel blood-brain barrier (BBB)-penetrating supramolecular gene delivery system was developed utilizing a host-guest block-building strategy to systematically screen and optimize various block compositions. Linear poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was coupled with hydrophobic poly[(,)-β-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) blocks of varying lengths with an adamantyl (Ad) end, giving the PEG-PHB-Ad guest polymers, which were complexed with the cationic 4-arm star-shaped β-cyclodextrin-poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (βCD-pDMAEMA) host polymer, resulting in the formation of linear-star pseudoblock PEG-PHB-Ad/βCD-pDMAEMA copolymers. These amphiphilic supramolecular copolymers were thoroughly characterized and assessed for the formation of DNA micelleplex nanoparticles as a gene delivery system.
