Abstract
Conformational rigidity controls the bulk self-assembly and liquid crystallinity from amphiphilic block molecules to copolymers. The effects of block stereochemistry on the self-assembly have, however, been less explored. Here, we have investigated amphiphilic block molecules involving eight open-chain monosaccharide-based polyol units possessing different stereochemistries, derived from D-glucose, D-galactose, L-arabinose, D-mannose and L-rhamnose (allylated monosaccharides t-Glc*, e-Glc*, t-Gal*, e-Gal*, t-Ara*, e-Ara*, t-Man*, and t-Rha*), end-functionalized with repulsive tetradecyl alkyl chain blocks to form well-defined amphiphiles with block molecule structures. All compounds studied showed low temperature crystalline phases due to polyol crystallization, and smectic (lamellar) and isotropic phases upon heating in bulk. Hexagonal cylindrical phase was additionally observed for the composition involving t-Man*. Cubic phases were observed for e-Glc*, e-Gal*, e-Ara*, and t-Rha* derived compounds. Therein, the rich array of WAXS-reflections suggested that the crystalline polyol domains are not ultra-confined in spheres as in classic cubic phases but instead show network-like phase continuity, which is rare in bulk liquid crystals. Importantly, the transition temperatures of the self-assemblies were observed to depend strongly on the polyol stereochemistry. The findings underpin that the stereochemistry in carbohydrate-based assemblies involves complexity, which is an important parameter to be considered in material design when developing self-assemblies for different functions.

Abstract
Solution self-assembly of coil-crystalline diblock copolypeptoids has attracted increasing attention due to its capability to form hierarchical nanostructures with tailorable morphologies and functionalities. While the N-substituent (or side chain) structures are known to affect the crystallization of polypeptoids, their roles in dictating the hierarchical solution self-assembly of diblock copolypeptoids are not fully understood. Herein, we designed and synthesized two types of diblock copolypeptoids, i.e., poly(N-methylglycine)-b-poly(N-octylglycine) (PNMG-b-PNOG) and poly(N-methylglycine)-b-poly(N-2-ethyl-1-hexylglycine) (PNMG-b-PNEHG), to investigate the influence of N-substituent structure on the crystalline packing and hierarchical self-assembly of diblock copolypeptoids in methanol. With a linear aliphatic N-substituent, the PNOG blocks pack into a highly ordered crystalline structure with a board-like molecular geometry, resulting in the self-assembly of PNMG-b-PNOG molecules into a hierarchical microflower morphology composed of radially arranged nanoribbon subunits. By contrast, the PNEHG blocks bearing bulky branched aliphatic N-substituents are rod-like and prefer to stack into a columnar hexagonal liquid crystalline mesophase, which drives PNMG-b-PNEHG molecules to self-assemble into symmetrical hexagonal nanosheets in solution. A combination of time-dependent small/wide-angle X-ray scattering and microscopic imaging analysis further revealed the self-assembly mechanisms for the formation of these microflowers and hexagonal nanosheets. These results highlight the significant impact of the N-substituent architecture (i.e., linear versus branched) on the supramolecular self-assembly of diblock copolypeptoids in solution, which can serve as an effective strategy to tune the geometry and hierarchical structure of polypeptoid-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
The thin-film directed self-assembly of molecular building blocks into oriented nanostructure arrays enables next-generation lithography at the sub-5 nm scale. Currently, the fabrication of inorganic arrays from molecular building blocks is restricted by the limited long-range order and orientation of the materials, as well as suitable methodologies for creating lithographic templates at sub-5 nm dimensions. In recent years, higher-order liquid crystals have emerged as functional thin films for organic electronics, nanoporous membranes, and templated synthesis, which provide opportunities for their use as lithographic templates. By choosing examples from these fields, recent progress toward the design of molecular building blocks is highlighted, with an emphasis on liquid crystals, to access sub-5 nm features, their directed self-assembly into oriented thin films, and, importantly, the fabrication of inorganic arrays. Finally, future challenges regarding sub-5 nm patterning with liquid crystals are discussed.

Highly ordered nanopatterns are obtained at sub-5 nm periodicities by the graphoepitaxial directed self-assembly of monodisperse, oligo(dimethylsiloxane) liquid crystals. These hybrid organic/inorganic liquid crystals are of high interest for nanopatterning applications due to the combination of their ultrasmall feature sizes and their ability to be directed into highly ordered domains without additional annealing.

Abstract
Lattice theory of rigid rods is extended to describe the microphase separation behavior of a rod-coil diblock copolymer in solution. The free energy was formulated by inclusion of the energy terms arising from the core-corona interface between the rods and coils and the corona formed by the coils into the lattice model of rigid rods. The rod-coil diblock copolymer exhibits lyotropic mesophases with lamellar, cylindrical, and spherical structures when the copolymer concentration is above a critical value. The tendency of the rodlike blocks to form orientational order plays an important role in the formation of lyotropic phases. Influences of polymer-solvent interaction, surface free energy, and molecular architectures of the rod-coil diblock copolymer on the phase behaviors were studied, and phase diagrams were mapped accordingly. The theoretical results were compared with some existing experimental observations and a good agreement is shown.

Abstract
Lamellar and hexagonal-coil-cylinder self-assembled structures of ABA type triblock copolymers containing mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymer (MJLCP) as the rod block, and polyisobutylene (PIB) as the coil middle block were discovered. PIB was synthesized by living cationic polymerization of isobutylene initiated by 1,4-bis(2-chloro-2-propyl)benzene (p-DCC), and then a small amount of styrene was introduced at the end of the PIB chains to form the difunctional PIB macroinitiator with -CH2CH(C6H5)Cl end groups for further atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). 2,5-Bis[(4-methoxyphenyl)oxycarbonyl]styrene (MPCS) was block-copolymerized from the difunctional PIB macroinitiators at 110 °C. The molecular characterization of the triblock copolymers was performed with 1H NMR, 13C NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Their phase structures and transitions were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and polarized optical microscopy experiments. It was demonstrated that the triblock copolymers formed lamellar structures at moderate rod fractions and hexagonal coil cylinders in the rod matrix at high rod fractions. The d-spacing of the microphase-separated structures was influenced by the liquid crystalline phase of rod-like PMPCS blocks.

Abstract
Chiral-bridged rod molecules (CBRs) that consisted of bis(penta-p-phenylene) conjugated to an opened or closed chiral bridging group as a rigid segment and oligoether dendrons as flexible segments were synthesized and characterized. In the bulk state, both molecules self-assemble into a hexagonal columnar structure, as confirmed by X-ray scatterings and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations. Interestingly, these structures display opposite Cotton effects in the chromophore of the aromatic unit in spite of the same chirality (R,R) of the chiral bridging groups. The molecules were observed to self-assemble into cylindrical micellar aggregates in aqueous solution, as confirmed by light scattering and TEM investigations, and exhibit intense signals in the circular dichroism (CD) spectra, which are indicative of one-handed helical conformations. The CD spectra of each molecule showed opposite signals to each other, which were similar to those in the bulk. Notably, when the opened CBR was added to a solution of closed CBRs up to a certain concentration, the CD signal of the closed CBR was amplified. This implies that both molecules co-assemble into a one-handed helical structure because the opened chiral bridge is conformationally flexible, which is inverted to co-assemble with the closed CBR. These results demonstrate that small structural modifications of the chiral moiety can transfer the chiral information to a supramolecular assembly in the opposite way.
