Abstract
Future technologies to harness solar energy and to convert this into chemical energy strongly rely on straightforward approaches to prepare versatile soft matter scaffolds for the immobilization of catalysts and sensitizers in a defined environment. In addition, particularly for light-driven hydrogen evolution, a transition to noble metal-free photosensitizers and catalysts is urgently required. Herein, we report a fully organic light-harvesting soft matter network based on a polyampholyte hydrogel where both photosensitizer (a perylene monoimide derivative) and a H2 evolution catalyst ([Mo3S13]2-) are electrostatically incorporated. The resulting material exhibits sustained visible-light-driven H2 evolution in aqueous ascorbic acid solution, even at rather low loadings of photosensitizer (0.4%) and catalyst (120 ppm). In addition, we provide initial insights into the long-term stability of the hybrid hydrogel. We believe that these results pave the way for a generalized route toward the incorporation of noble metal-free light-driven catalysis in soft matter networks.

Abstract
With the incorporation of polyampholytic segments into soft matter, hydrogels can serve as a reservoir for a variety of charged molecules which can be caught and released upon changes in pH value. Asymmetric block extension of one arm for star-shaped poly(ethylene glycol) [PEG26 -SH]4 using short segments of polyampholytic poly(dehydroalanine) (PDha) is herein demonstrated while maintaining the functional thiol end groups for network formation. For subsequent hydrogel synthesis with up to 10 wt.% PDha a straightforward and biocompatible photoinitiated thiol-ene click reaction is exploited. The investigation of the swelling properties of the hydrogel revealed responsive behavior toward ionic strength and variations in pH value. Moreover, the reversible adsorption of the model dyes methylene blue (MB) and acid orange 7 (AO7) is investigated by UV-vis measurements and the procedure can be successfully transferred to the adsorption of the adhesion peptide RGDS resulting in an uptake of 1.5 wt% RGDS with regard to the dry weight of the hydrogel.

Abstract
We report on a photocatalytic setup that utilizes the organic photosensitizer (PS) diiodo-BODIPY and the non-precious-metal-based hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst (NH4)2[Mo3S13] together with a polyampholytic unimolecular matrix poly(dehydroalanine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (PDha-g-PEG) in aqueous media. The system shows exceptionally high performance with turnover numbers (TON > 7300) and turnover frequencies (TOF > 450 h-1) that are typical for noble-metal-containing systems. Excited-state absorption spectra reveal the formation of a long-lived triplet state of the PS in both aqueous and organic media. The system is a blueprint for developing noble-metal-free HER in water. Component optimization, e.g., by modification of the meso substituent of the PS and the composition of the HER catalyst, is further possible.

Abstract
When a controlled or retarded release of perfumes is required such as in cosmetics or cleaning products, polymers can be applied as encapsulation agents. With regard to such applications, we investigated two amphiphilic graft copolymers featuring a polydehydroalanine (PDha) backbone and different hydrophobic side chains. Hereby, grafting of aliphatic octyl side chains (PDha-g-EOct) enabled the adsorption of the aliphatic fragrance tetrahydrolinalool with moderate loads, whereas benzyl side chains (PDha-g-BGE) allowed taking up aromatic fragrances, for example, amylsalicylate-n with exceptionally high loads of up to 8 g g-1. The side-chain density was studied as well but had no significant influence on the loading. In addition, the characterization and quantification of the load by NMR and thermogravimetric analysis were compared, and it was also possible to load the aromatic model fragrance into the graft copolymer with aliphatic side chains. After 3 months, the load had decreased by 40-50% and, hence, such systems are of interest for a long-term release of perfumes over months. Although this study is a proof-of-concept, we foresee that such polyampholytic graft copolymers can be tailored for the adsorption of a variety of hydrophobic perfumes simply by altering polarity and chemistry of the side chain.

Abstract
In this work, we present a new synthetic strategy for fourfold-substituted perylene monoimides via tetrabrominated perylene monoanhydrides. X-ray diffraction analysis unveiled the intramolecular stacking orientation between the substituents and semicircular packing behavior. We observed the remarkable influence of the substituent on the longevity and nature of the excited state upon visible light excitation. In the presence of poly(dehydroalanine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) graft copolymers as solubilizing template, the chromophores are capable of sensitizing [Mo3 S13 ]2- clusters in aqueous solution for stable visible light driven hydrogen evolution over three days.

Abstract
An effective strategy to enhance the performance of inorganic semiconductors is moving towards organic‐inorganic hybrid materials. Here, we report the design of core–shell hybrid materials based on a TiO2 core functionalized with a polyampholytic (poly(dehydroalanine)‐graft‐(n‐propyl phosphonic acid acrylamide) shell (PDha‐g‐PAA@TiO2). The PDha‐g‐PAA shell facilitates the efficient immobilization of the photosensitizer Eosin Y (EY) and enables electronic interactions between EY and the TiO2 core. This resulted in high visible‐light‐driven H2 generation. The enhanced light‐driven catalytic activity is attributed to the unique core–shell design with the graft copolymer acting as bridge and facilitating electron and proton transfer, thereby also preventing the degradation of EY. Further catalytic enhancement of PDha‐g‐PAA@TiO2 was possible by introducing [Mo3S13]2− cluster anions as hydrogen‐evolution cocatalyst. This novel design approach is an example for a multi‐component system in which reactivity can in future be independently tuned by selection of the desired molecular or polymeric species.

Abstract
Three triggers result in two measurable outputs from polymeric sensors: multiresponsive polyampholytic graft copolymers respond to pH-value and temperature, as well as the type and concentration of metal cations and therefore, allow the transformation of external triggers into simply measurable outputs (cloud point temperature (TCP ) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of encapsulated silver nanoparticles). The synthesis relies on poly(dehydroalanine) (PDha) as the reactive backbone and gives straightforward access to materials with tunable composition and output. In particular, a rather high sensitivity toward the presence of Cu2+ , Co2+ , and Pb2+ metal cations is found.
