Abstract
Handedness inversion of supramolecular chirality and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in assembled systems containing more than two components with higher complexity is of prominent importance to simulate biological multicomponent species and design advanced chiral materials, but it remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we have successfully developed ternary co-assembly systems based on aromatic amino acids, vinylnaphthalene derivatives and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene with effective chirality transfer. Notably, the handedness of supramolecular chirality and CPL can be readily inverted by changing the residues of amino acids, the substituents of achiral vinylnaphthalene derivatives, or by adjusting the stoichiometric ratio. The hydrogen bonds, charge transfer interactions, and steric hindrance are proved to be the crucial factors for the chirality inversion. This flexible control over chirality not only offers insights into developing multicomponent chiral materials with desirable handedness from simple molecular building blocks, but also is of practical value for use in chiroptics, chiral sensing, and photoelectric devices.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry combines the strength of molecular assembly via various molecular interactions. Hydrogen bonding facilitated self-assembly with the advantages of directionality, specificity, reversibility, and strength is a promising approach for constructing advanced supramolecules. There are still some challenges in hydrogen bonding based supramolecular polymers, such as complexity originating from tautomerism of the molecular building modules, the assembly process, and structure versatility of building blocks. In this review, examples are selected to give insights into multiple hydrogen bonding driven emerging supramolecular architectures. We focus on chiral supramolecular assemblies, multiple hydrogen bonding modules as stimuli responsive sources, interpenetrating polymer networks, multiple hydrogen bonding assisted organic frameworks, supramolecular adhesives, energy dissipators, and quantitative analysis of nano-adhesion. The applications in biomedical materials are focused with detailed examples including drug design evolution for myotonic dystrophy, molecular assembly for advanced drug delivery, an indicator displacement strategy for DNA detection, tissue engineering, and self-assembly complexes as gene delivery vectors for gene transfection. In addition, insights into the current challenges and future perspectives of this field to propel the development of multiple hydrogen bonding facilitated supramolecular materials are proposed.

Abstract
Enhancing the dissymmetry factor (glum ) is a crucial issue in developing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials. Herein, based on supramolecular self-assembly of diethyl l-glutamate-cyanodiarylethene (L-GC) in mixed solution of EtOH-H2 O with different water fraction, enhanced circularly polarized emission from pulsating nanotubules is realized. In the mixture of ethanol and water (30/70, v/v), L-GC self-assembles into roll-up-type dense nanotubes and shows l-CPL. Remarkably, by increasing the water fraction to 80% and 90%, the diameter of the roll-up nanotubes increases and the dissymmetry factor of the nanotubes is significantly enhanced from 6.9 × 10-3 (dense nanotubes) to 3.7 × 10-2 (loose nanotubes) because of the enhanced intermolecular interactions and more ordered supramolecular stacking when increasing the water fraction. An efficient way is provided here to realize the increase of the dissymmetry factor by only changing the composition of solvents.

Abstract
It is highly challenging to achieve circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) switching by precisely tuning supramolecular interactions and unveiling the mechanism of supramolecular chirality inversion. Herein, we demonstrated CPL switching based on diethyl l-glutamate-9-cyanophenanthrene (LGCP) and diethyl l-glutamate-pyrene (LGP) via the precise regulation of supramolecular interactions. LGCP assembly driven by hydrogen bonding showed right CPL, while LGP assembly driven by π-π interaction led to left CPL. Remarkably, significant CPL switching was observed from the assemblies of LGCP/octafluoronaphthalene (OFN), attributed to the alteration of the dominating interaction from weak hydrogen bonding to rather strong π-π interaction, while the assemblies of LGP/OFN exhibited minimum CPL variation because the dominating π-π interaction within the assembly of LGP/OFN illustrated quite limited variations upon arene-perfluoroarene interaction. This work provides a feasible strategy toward the efficient modulation of the chiroptical properties of multiple component supramolecular systems, meanwhile offering possibilities for the mechanism exploration of the chirality inversion of supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
Helical supramolecular architectures play important structural and functional roles in biological systems. The helicity of synthetic molecules can be tuned mainly by the chiral manipulation of the system. However, tuning of helicity by the achiral unit of the molecules is less studied. In this work, the helicity of naphthalimide-capped peptide-based gel nanofibers is tuned by the alteration of methylene units present in the achiral amino acid. The inversion of supramolecular helicity has been extensively studied by CD spectroscopy and morphological analysis. The density functional theory (DFT) study indicates that methylene spacers influence the orientation of π-π stacking interactions of naphthalimide units in the self-assembled structure that regulates the helicity. This work illustrates a new approach to tuning the supramolecular chirality of self-assembled biomaterials.

Abstract
A one-step route to a series of perfluoronaphthalene-based donor (D)-acceptor (A)-D fluorescent dyes with various electron-donating groups was developed. The perfluoronaphthalene moiety in the D-A-D dyes served as a good electron-accepting aromatic ring with excellent intramolecular charge transfer properties, as determined by density functional theory calculations and measurements of the fluorescence properties in solution, in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films, and in crystal form. Notably, replacing the naphthalene ring with perfluoronaphthalene in the D-A-D dyes carrying the phenothiazine moiety not only stabilized the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels but also reduced the energy band gap to change the emission color from blue to yellow. Among the four synthesized perfluoronaphthalene D-A-D dyes, those bearing diphenylamino groups afforded the best fluorescence quantum yields in Et2O solution (0.60) and in PMMA film (0.65) because the propeller structure of the diphenylamino group that acts as a donor substituent effectively suppresses radiation-free deactivation. In contrast, in the crystalline state, the carbazoyl-bearing D-A-D dye provided the best fluorescence quantum yield (0.35) because the radiation-free inactivation was suppressed by π-πF stacking at the donor site, which was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

Abstract
Two chiral binaphthyl polymers (R/S-P1 and R/S-P2) with different dihedral angles of the binaphthyl moiety were chosen as chiral inducers to construct chiral co-assemblies with an achiral pyrene-naphthalimide dye (NPy) and then acted as the emitting layer (EML) of circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) devices. The anchored dihedral angle of R/S-P2 not only exhibited the enhanced chirality signal, but also had a strong chirality-inducing effect on the achiral NPy dye in the chiral co-assembly (R/S-P2)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 . After annealing at 120 °C, the CPL signal (|gem |) of ordered helical nano-fibers (R/S-P2)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 was amplified to 5.6×10-2 , which was about 6-fold larger than that of (R/S-P1)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 . The amplified gem value of (R/S-P2)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 was due to the formation of a helical co-assembly through the strong π-π stacking interaction between the R/S-P2 and the achiral NPy. This kind of ordered helical nano-fibers (R/S-P2)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 acted as the EML of CP-OLEDs, and achieved an excellent CP-EL performance (|gEL |=4.8×10-2 ).

Abstract
Flexible regulation of chirality and handedness of chiral functional materials and quantitative sensing of natural chiral compounds remains a considerable challenge. Herein, an achiral fluorescent 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid-benzimidazole derivative (PBI) was synthesized and its chiroptical properties upon coassembly with chiral acids (TA and MA) and octafluoronaphthalene (OFN) through hydrogen bonds between benzimidazole and chiral acids as well as an arene-perfluoroarene (AP) interaction between a pyrene moiety and OFN were systemically studied. The binary assemblies of PBI/TA and PBI/MA displayed opposite chiroptical properties including circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) signals. Interestingly, the handedness of CPL was further inverted in ternary assemblies due to the synergistic effect of the AP interaction and hydrogen bonds. Besides, the highly accurate chiral sensing of chiral acids via binary assemblies was successfully achieved with a high correlation coefficient. This work provides a simple method for regulating the handedness of chiroptical active materials and quantitative sensing of chiral acids through orthogonal multiple component coassemblies.
