Abstract
The therapeutic outcome of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is greatly hindered by the presence of oxidative damage repair proteins (MTH1) inside cancer cells. These oxidative damage repair proteins detoxify the action of radicals generated by Fenton or Fenton-like reactions. Hence, it is extremely important to develop a simple strategy for the downregulation of MTH1 protein inside cancer cells along with the delivery of metal ions into cancer cells. A one-pot host-guest supramolecular approach for the codelivery of MTH1 siRNA and metal ions into a cancer cell is reported. Our approach involves the fabrication of an inclusion complex between cationic β-cyclodextrin and a ferrocene prodrug, which spontaneously undergoes amphiphilicity-driven self-assembly to form spherical nanoparticles (NPs) having a positively charged surface. The cationic surface of the NPs was then explored for the loading of MTH1 siRNA through electrostatic interactions. Using HeLa cells as a representative example, efficient uptake of the NPs, delivery of MTH1 siRNA and the enhanced CDT of the nanoformulation are demonstrated. This work highlights the potential of the supramolecular approach as a simple yet efficient method for the delivery of siRNA across the cell membrane for enhanced chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Porphyrin derivatives are ubiquitous in bio-organisms and are associated with proteins that play important biological roles, such as oxygen transport, photosynthesis, and catalysis. Porphyrins are very fascinating research objects for chemists, physicists, and biologists owing to their versatile chemical and physical properties. Porphyrin derivatives are actively used in various fields, such as molecular recognition, energy conversion, sensors, biomedicine, and catalysts. Porphyrin derivatives can be used as building blocks for supramolecular polymers because their primitive structures have C4 symmetry, which allows for the symmetrical introduction of self-assembling motifs. This review describes the fabrication of porphyrin-based supramolecular polymers and novel discoveries in supramolecular polymer growth. First, we summarise the (i) design concepts, (ii) growth mechanism and (iii) analytical methods of porphyrin-based supramolecular polymers. Then, the examples of porphyrin-based supramolecular polymers formed by (iv) hydrogen bonding, (v) metal coordination-based interaction, (vi) host-guest complex formation, and (vii) others are summarised. Finally, (viii) applications and perspectives are discussed. Although supramolecular polymers, in a broad sense, can include either two-dimensional (2D) networks or three-dimensional (3D) porous polymer structures; this review mainly focuses on one-dimensional (1D) fibrous supramolecular polymer structures.

Abstract
Among all the available approaches in organic synthesis, the "click chemistry" protocol is very common nowadays to covalently connect two diverse moieties in a single framework. Therefore, this review focuses on the synthesis and photophysical studies of β- and meso-substituted and 1,2,3-triazole-fused porphyrin conjugates. All of the porphyrin conjugates discussed here are synthesized via a copper(I)-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between an azide and a terminal alkyne, also popular as "click reaction" or CuAAC reaction. Moreover, the 1,2,3-triazole ring also serves as a spacer and an electron transfer bridge between the porphyrin and the attached chromophores. In order to provide a critical overview of the synthesis and properties of various porphyrin-triazole hybrids, this review will discuss some of the key reactions involved in the preparation of triazole-linked porphyrin conjugates.

Abstract
Molecular recognition of host/guest molecules represents the basis of many biological processes and phenomena. Enzymatic catalysis and inhibition, immunological response, reproduction of genetic information, biological regulatory functions, the effects of drugs, and ion transfer-all these processes include the stage of structure recognition during complexation. The goal of this review is to solicit and publish the latest advances in the design and sensing and binding abilities of porphyrin-based heterotopic receptors with well-defined geometries, the recognition ability of which is realized due to ionic, H-bridge, charge transfer, hydrophobic, and hydrophilic interactions. The dissection of the considered low-energy processes at the molecular scale expands our capabilities in the development of effective systems for controlled recognition, selective delivery, and prolonged release of substrates of different natures (including drugs) to their sites of functioning.

Abstract
The pivotal role played by potassium ions in the noncovalent synthesis of discrete porphyrin-calixarene nanostructures has been examined. The flattened-cone conformation adopted by the two cavities of octa-cationic calix[4]tube C4T was found to prevent the formation of complexes with well-defined stoichiometry between this novel water-soluble calixarene and the tetra-anionic phenylsulfonate porphyrin CuTPPS. Conversely, preorganization of C4T into a C4v-symmetrical scaffold, triggered by potassium ion encapsulation (C4T@K+), allowed us to carry out an efficient hierarchical self-assembly process leading to 2D and 3D nanostructures. The stepwise formation of discrete CuTPPS/C4T@K+ noncovalent assemblies, containing up to 33 molecular elements, was conveniently monitored by UV/vis spectroscopy by following the absorbance of the porphyrin Soret band.

Abstract
The development of synthetic strategies for functional building units plays a central role in supramolecular chemistry. Both porphyrin and crown ethers have attracted the attention of researchers worldwide owing to their unique properties. It is envisioned that the integration of the two molecules will result in hybrid materials with potential applications in many fields. In the present study, a new porphyrin derivative 3 appended with four 18-crown-6 (18C6) ether moieties was synthesized through the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of boronic ester porphyrin 1 and 4-bromobenzo-18-crown-6 2 in 80% yield. Porphyrin 3 was fully characterized by 1H/[Formula: see text]C NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry. The tendency of the 18C6 to form host-guest complexes with ammonium cations was exploited to assemble cation responsive hybrid material of porphyrin 3 and ammonium immobilized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Furthermore, the potential application of the 3/MSNs conjugate as a cation-responsive drug delivery vehicle was investigated in solution by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies.

Abstract
Exploring efficient and robust electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance of liposoluble porphyrins in aqueous phase for analytical purposes especially for important biological targets is still very challenging. In this work, a novel depolymerization-induced electrochemiluminescence (DIECL) of porphyrin and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) self-assembly through a coreactant route was discovered. Among the studied meso-tetrasubstituted porphyrins, self-assembly of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (THPP) and β-CD (THPP@β-CD) exhibits the best DIECL behavior with high efficiency (21.8%) as well as good reproducibility and stability. A mechanistic study suggests that the facile complexation of porphyrins with amphiphilic β-CD via hydrogen bonding interaction greatly improves the water insolubility and the aggregation-caused deficient ECL of liposoluble porphyrins in aqueous solution. Furthermore, because of the strong hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl groups on THPP@β-CD and a highly electronegative substrate, such THPP@β-CD is found to serve as an efficient luminophore for recognition of most electronegative fluoride (F-) in the aqueous phase with high sensitivity and selectivity, together with a low limit of detection (0.74 μΜ). The simplicity of this THPP@β-CD and its unique DIECL property in current work provides a new guide for the ECL applications of liposoluble porphyrins in aqueous phase.

Abstract
Numerous metalloporphyrin stacks have been synthesized and studied. Electronic interactions between constituent metalloporphyrins are able to determine the structures and properties of porphyrin arrays. In 2016, Co(II)-, Cu(II)-, Pt(II)-, and Zn(II)-porphyrins were shown to pack to form dimers as well as trimers. Porphyrin rings were found to strongly overlap with lateral shifts between ring centers. However, no binding energies and electronic structures of these stacks have been reported. We have performed first computational study of the dimers of Co(II)-, Cu(II)-, and Zn(II)-porphyrins, both in vacuum and in two implicit solvents. For all three stacks the configurations with strong overlap of the metalloporphyrin rings with lateral shifts between ring centers were found to be the global minimum structures, 1A for [ZnP]2 and 3A for [CuP]2 and [CoP]2. Also, open-shell singlets with the same energy or close-lying in energy were found for [CuP]2 and [CoP]2. The binding energies were calculated to be significant, from ca. -13 to -39 kcal/mol (gas phase, depending on the computational approach). The computational results showed quite good agreement with the experimental data. The dimers were found to be bound by strong bonding combinations of the monomer MOs which explained significant binding energies computed for the dimers. The shifted dimer configurations could be explained by the way how the monomer MOs preferably overlap.

Abstract
With their unique photochemical properties, porphyrins have remained for decades the most interested chemicals as photonic materials for applications ranging from chemistry, biology, medicine, to photovoltaic. Porphyrins can self-assemble into higher order structures. However, information has been scant on the kinetics and structural evolution during porphyrin assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, quantitative understanding of the porphyrin optical activities is complicated by the complex interplay of photon absorption, scattering, and fluorescence emission that can concurrently occur in porphyrin samples. Using meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin as the model molecule, reported herein is a combined UV-vis extinction, polarized Stokes-shifted fluorescence, and polarized resonance synchronous spectroscopic (PRS2) study of porphyrin assembly and disassembly in acidic solutions. Although porphyrin assembly and disassembly occur instantaneously upon the sample preparation, both processes last at least a few months before reaching their approximate equilibrium states. The two processes were monitored in situ by quantifying the porphyrin fluorescence and scattering depolarizations as well as its extinction, absorption, scattering, and fluorescence emission cross sections. In addition to a series of new insights to the porphyrin assembly and disassembly, the methodology described in this work opens the door for the in situ study of the structural and optical properties of photonic materials comprising molecular assembly.

Abstract
Nanoporous supramolecular networks physisorbed on solid surfaces have been extensively used to immobilize a variety of guest molecules. Host-guest chemistry in such two-dimensional (2D) porous networks is a rapidly expanding field due to potential applications in separation technology, catalysis and nanoscale patterning. Diverse structural topologies with high crystallinity have been obtained to capture molecular guests of different sizes and shapes. A range of non-covalent forces such as hydrogen bonds, van der Waals interactions, coordinate bonds have been employed to assemble the host networks. Recent years have witnessed a surge in the activity in this field with the implementation of rational design strategies for realizing controlled and selective guest capture. In this feature article, we review the development in the field of surface-supported host-guest chemistry as studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Typical host-guest architectures studied on solid surfaces, both under ambient conditions at the solution-solid interface as well as those formed at the ultrahigh vacuum (UHV)-solid interface, are described. We focus on isoreticular host networks, hosts functionalized pores and dynamic host-guest systems that respond to external stimuli.

Abstract
Biotin/(strept)avidin self-assembly is a powerful platform for nanoscale fabrication and capture with many different applications in science, medicine, and nanotechnology. However, biotin/(strept)avidin self-assembly has several well-recognized drawbacks that limit performance in certain technical areas and there is a need for synthetic mimics that can either become superior replacements or operational partners with bio-orthogonal recognition properties. The goal of this tutorial review is to describe the recent progress in making high affinity synthetic association partners that operate in water or biological media. The review starts with a background summary of biotin/(strept)avidin self-assembly and the current design rules for creating synthetic mimics. A series of case studies are presented that describe recent success using synthetic derivatives of cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils, and various organic cyclophanes such as calixarenes, deep cavitands, pillararenes, and tetralactams. In some cases, two complementary partners associate to produce a nanoscale complex and in other cases a ditopic host molecule is used to link two partners. The article concludes with a short discussion of future directions and likely challenges.

Abstract
A facile method to construct reversible thermoresponsive switching for bacteria killing and detachment was currently developed by host-guest self-assembly of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and adamantane (Ad). Ad-terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (Ad-PNIPAM) and Ad-terminated poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (Ad-PMT) were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization, and then assembled onto the surface of β-CD grafted silicon wafer (SW-CD) by simply immersing SW-CD into a mixed solution of Ad-PNIPAM and Ad-PMT, thus forming a thermoresponsive surface (SW-PNIPAM/PMT). Atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and water contact angle (WCA) analysis were used to characterize the surface of SW-PNIPAM/PMT. The thermoresponsive bacteria killing and detachment switch of the SW-PNIPAM/PMT was investigated against Staphyloccocus aureus. The microbiological experiments confirmed the efficient bacteria killing and detachment switch across the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNIPAM. Above the LCST, the Ad-PNIPAM chains on the SW-PNIPAM/PMT surface were collapsed to expose Ad-PMT chains, and then the exposed Ad-PMT would kill the attached bacteria. While below the LCST, the previously collapsed Ad-PNIPAM chains became more hydrophilic and swelled to cover the Ad-PMT chains, leading to the detachment of bacterial debris. Besides, the proposed method to fabricate stimuli-responsive surfaces with reversible switches for bacteria killing and detachment is facile and efficient, which creates a new route to extend the application of such smart surfaces in the fields requiring long-term antimicrobial treatment.

Abstract
An organic/inorganic hybrid porphyrin derivative, namely, metal-free tetrakisphenyl porphyrin-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (H2 TPP-POSS) was synthesized by azide-alkyne click chemistry. The self-assembly behavior of H2 TPP-POSS was systematically studied in CHCl3 at different concentrations and in solvents with different polarities. Novel nanovesicles could be obtained through the self-assembly of H2 TPP-POSS in CHCl3 at a concentration lower than 10(-4) m. Diffuse microrods formed at a concentration higher than 10(-4) M. Additionally, the polarity of the solvent also greatly influenced the assembled morphologies, and a series of assembled morphologies, including crescent-shaped micelles, spherical micelles, doughnut-shaped vesicles, and ordered square sheets, could form in solvents with different polarities.

Abstract
An amphiphilic compound, 5-(4'-dodecyloxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tri(permethyl-β-CD)-modified Zn(II)-porphyrin (1; β-CD = β-cyclodextrin), was synthesized by means of the click reaction of an alkylated Zn-porphyrin derivative with 6-deoxy-6-azidopermethyl-β-CD. The complexation between 1 and tetrasodium tetraphenylporphyrintetrasulfonate (5) with different molar ratios led to the formation of two distinctly different nanoarchitectures, which were proven to be vesicle and network aggregates, respectively, by using dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. On the basis of the results of the time-dependent TEM studies, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopic measurements, we have determined that the mechanism of the morphology transition from vesicles to networks is controlled by the stepwise complexation of 1 with 5. Furthermore, these supramolecular nanoarchitectures show the controlled- release property of doxorubicin as potential candidates for drug delivery.

Abstract
As a novel class of dynamic and non-covalent polymers, supramolecular polymers not only display specific structural and physicochemical properties, but also have the ability to undergo reversible changes of structure, shape, and function in response to diverse external stimuli, making them promising candidates for widespread applications ranging from academic research to industrial fields. By an elegant combination of dynamic/reversible structures with exceptional functions, functional supramolecular polymers are attracting increasing attention in various fields. In particular, functional supramolecular polymers offer several unique advantages, including inherent degradable polymer backbones, smart responsiveness to various biological stimuli, and the ease for the incorporation of multiple biofunctionalities (e.g., targeting and bioactivity), thereby showing great potential for a wide range of applications in the biomedical field. In this Review, the trends and representative achievements in the design and synthesis of supramolecular polymers with specific functions are summarized, as well as their wide-ranging biomedical applications such as drug delivery, gene transfection, protein delivery, bio-imaging and diagnosis, tissue engineering, and biomimetic chemistry. These achievements further inspire persistent efforts in an emerging interdisciplin-ary research area of supramolecular chemistry, polymer science, material science, biomedical engineering, and nanotechnology.

Abstract
The development of methods to grow well-ordered chromophore thin films on solid substrates is of importance because such surface-associated arrays have potential applications in the generation of functional electronic and optical materials and devices. In this article, we demonstrate a straightforward layer-by-layer (LBL) supramolecular deposition strategy to prepare numerous layers (up to 19) of functionalized perylene diimide (PDI) chromophores built upon a covalent scaffolding multivalent porphyrin monolayer. Our thin film formation strategy employs water as the immersion solvent and exploits the β-cyclodextrin-adamantane host-guest couple in addition to PDI based aromatic stacking. Within the resultant film the porphyrin scaffold is oriented close to parallel to the glass substrate while the PDI chromophores are aligned closer to the surface normal. Together, the porphyrin monolayer and the multi-PDI layers exhibit a large absorption bandwidth in the visible spectrum. Importantly, because a self-assembly strategy was utilized, when a single monolayer of PDI is deposited on the porphyrin scaffolding layer, this PDI monolayer can be readily disassembled by washing with DMF leading to the regeneration of the porphyrin monolayer. The PDI thin film can subsequently be regrown from the regenerated porphyrin surface. The reported LBL strategy will be of broad interest for researchers developing well-organized chromophoric films and materials due to its simplicity as well as the added advantage of being performed in sustainable and cost-effective aqueous media.

Abstract
A porphyrin-based amphiphile that exhibits various self-assembled nanostructures in different solvents has been successfully prepared. The effect of aggregated structure on optical properties of this amphiphile has been well investigated. Furthermore, this porphyrin-based amphiphile and its assemblies show dynamic/reversible variations in morphology and optical properties in response to light.

Abstract
Metal-free, Zn-, Cd-, and Hg-containing one-dimensional tetraphenylporphyrin arrays containing up to eight repeat units were modeled at the PBE/def2-SVP level of theory with D3 empirical dispersion correction. Two different configurations--face to face (F) and parallel displaced (P)--were detected, the latter being the most stable for all types of nanoarrays. According to the calculations, the binding that occurs in nanoarrays is mostly due to dispersion, with binding energies of 33-35 kcal/mol seen for the metal-free nanoarrays and energies of 37-40 kcal/mol for the metal-containing ones. The band gaps, estimated as the S0 → S1 excitation energies and extrapolated to the infinite chain limit using the TD-CAM-B3LYP/def2-SVP model, were close to 2 eV; the band gap size was barely dependent on the nature of the metal and the number of repeat units in the nanoarray. The ionization potentials and electron affinities were greatly influenced by the number of repeat units due to delocalization of polarons across each nanoarray. Polaron delocalization and the related reorganization energies were clearly dependent on the nature of the metal. For the metal-free and Zn-containing nanoarrays, the reorganization energies for hole and electron transport decreased linearly with 1/n, where n is the number of repeat units in the nanoaggregate. The reorganization energies therefore reach zero for an infinitely long chain. These energies for Cd- and Hg-containing nanoarrays were found to be one order of magnitude higher for both hole and electron transport due to the localization of polarons in these nanoarrays.

Abstract
Building on established supramolecular chemistry, metal coordination and organometallic chemistry have been widely explored for supramolecular polymers and nanostructures. Increasingly, research has demonstrated that this approach is promising for the synthesis of novel materials with functions and properties derived from metal elements and their coordination structures. Unique self-assembling behaviour and unexpected supramolecular structures are frequently discovered due to multiple non-covalent interactions in addition to metal coordination. However, an explicit understanding of the synergistic effects of non-covalent interactions for designed synthesis of metal containing assemblies with structure correlated properties remains a challenge to be addressed. Recent literature in the area is highlighted in this review in order to illustrate newly explored concepts and stress the importance of developing well understood and controlled supramolecular chemistry for designed synthesis.

Abstract
Photonic DNA nanostructures are typically prepared by the assembly of multiple sequences of long DNA strands that are conjugated covalently to various dye molecules. Herein we introduce a noncovalent method for the construction of porphyrin-containing DNA nanowires and their networks that uses the programmed assembly of a single, very short, oligodeoxyribonucleotide sequence. Specifically, our strategy exploits a number of supramolecular binding modalities (including DNA base-pairing, metal-ion coordination, and β-cyclodextrin-adamantane derived host-guest interactions) for simultaneous nanowire assembly and porphyrin incorporation. Furthermore, we also show that the resultant DNA-porphyrin assembly can be further functionalized with a complementary "off-the-shelf" DNA binding dye resulting in photonic structures with broadband absorption and energy transfer capabilities.

Abstract
By a combination of excellent fluorescent performance with smart targeting capability for cancer-specific delivery, a promising class of calcein-based supramolecular fluorescent nanoparticles has been successfully prepared via a "bricks and mortar" strategy. Through tuning the molar ratio of adamantane-functionalized calcein (CA-AD)/β-cyclodextrin-grafted branched polyethylenimine (PEI-CD), the size of these fluorescent nanoparticles can be effectively controlled. Importantly, the β-cyclodextrin/adamantane (β-CD/AD = 1/1) host-guest interaction dramatically suppresses the π-π stacking and fluorescence self-quenching of calcein chromophores in water, leading to the formation of highly fluorescent nanoparticles. By introduction of the folate receptor, these fluorescent nanoparticles exhibit excellent cancer imaging efficiency.

Abstract
Metalloporphyrins which form the core of many bioenzymes and natural light harvesting or electron transport systems, exhibit a variety of selective functional properties depending on the state and surroundings with which they exist in biological systems. The specificity and ease with which they function in each of their bio-functions appear to be largely governed by the nature and disposition of the protein globule around the porphyrin reaction center. Synthetic porphyrin frameworks confined within or around a pre-organized molecular entity like the protein network in natural systems have attracted considerable attraction, especially in the field of biomimetic reactions. At the same time a large number of macrocyclic oligomers such as calixarenes, resorcinarenes, spherands, cyclodextrins and crown ethers have been investigated in detail as efficient molecular receptors. These molecular receptors are synthetic host molecules with enclosed interiors, which are designed three dimensionally to ensure strong and precise molecular encapsulation/recognition. Due to their complex structures, enclosed guest molecules reside in an environment isolated from the outside and as a consequence, physical properties and chemical reactions specific to that environment in these guest species can be identified. The facile incorporation of such molecular receptors into the highly photoactive and catalytically efficient porphyrin framework allows for convenient design of useful molecular systems with unique structural and functional properties. Such systems have provided over the years attractive model systems for the study of various biological and chemical processes, and the design of new materials and molecular devices. This review focuses on the recent developments in the synthesis of porphyrin assemblies associated with cyclodextrins, calixarenes and resorcinarenes and their potential applications in the fields of molecular encapsulation/recognition, and chemical catalysis.
