Abstract
Four Pt(II)(N^N^N) compounds featuring DMSO coordination at the fourth position were synthesized. Ligands varied in terms of pyridyl central ring (hydrogen/chlorine substituent) and lateral rings (triazoles with CF3 substitution or tetrazoles). Coordination to pyridine yielded tetra-nitrogen coordinated Pt(II) complexes or Pt-functionalized polymers using commercial 4-pyridyl polyvinyl (PV) or dimethylaminopyridine. Luminescence behaviors exhibited remarkable environmental dependence. While some of the molecular compounds (tetrazole derivatives) in solid state displayed quenched luminescence, all the polymers exhibited 3MMLCT emission around 600 nm. Conversely, monomer emission was evident on poly(methyl methacrylate) or polystyrene matrices. DFT calculations were used to analyze the aggregation of the complexes both at the molecular level and coordinated to the PV polymer and their influence on the HOMO-LUMO gaps.

Abstract
A series of pH-responsive alkynylplatinum(II) 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2'-yl)pyridine (bzimpy) complexes with charge-reversal properties was synthesized, and the supramolecular assemblies between conjugated polyelectrolyte, PFP-OSO3-, and [Pt{bzimpy(TEG)2}{C≡C-C6H3-(COOH)2-3,5}]Cl (1) have been studied using UV-vis absorption, emission, and resonance light scattering (RLS) spectroscopy. An efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from PFP-OSO3- donor to the aggregated 1 as acceptor with the aid of Pt(II)···Pt(II) interactions has been presented, which leads to a growth of triplet metal-metal-to-ligand charge transfer (3MMLCT) emission in the low-energy red region. The two-component PFP-OSO3--1 ensemble was then exploited as a "proof-of-principle" concept strategy for pH sensing by tracking the ratiometric emission changes. With the aid of judicious molecular design on the pH-driven charge-reversal property, the polyelectrolyte-induced self-assembly and the FRET from PFP-OSO3- to the platinum(II) aggregates have been modulated. Together with its excellent reversibility and photostability, the extra stability provided by the Pt(II)···Pt(II) and π-π stacking interactions on top of the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions existing in polyelectrolye-complex assemblies has led to a selective and sensitive pH sensing assay.

Abstract
Although metal-containing polymers have been widely studied as a novel class of functional soft materials, the microphase separation between polymeric segments and metal-ligand complexes has been less addressed, which is critical to control their structures and functions. To do this, short-chain polystyrenes (PSs) have been end-functionalized with nanosized square-planar platinum(II) complexes. The platinum(II)-comprising polymers were found to show significant luminescence enhancement in chloroform/methanol solvent mixtures upon increasing the methanol composition. By modulating both the PS length and solvent quality, various self-assembled morphologies formed controllably in the mixed solvents and typical examples include nanofibers, nanoellipsoids, and nanospheres. More interestingly, the inside structures of these polymer particles are shown to be lamellar with sub-10 nm spacings, wherein the PS blocks are alternatively aligned with the platinum(II) units. Such a luminescence enhancement and hierarchical nanostructured particles originate from a subtle combination of directional Pt(II)⋯Pt(II) and/or π-π stacking interactions between the platinum(II) units and the solvophobic effect between the PS blocks. This work suggests that by microphase separating polymer chains with nanosized metal-ligand complexes, metal-containing polymers can self-assemble to form sub-10 nm scale nanostructures showcasing desired properties and functions.

Abstract
An amphiphilic metallo-supramolecular poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) block copolymer containing a bis(2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) ruthenium (II) complex as a supramolecular connection between the two constituting blocks was used to prepare stable aqueous micelles which displayed a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) triggered release behavior. By adjusting the HIFU time and intensity, the novel modality of HIFU triggered release allows for fine-tuning of the release kinetics of the encapsulants from the micelles in a remote and controlled way. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry confirmed that the degradation of the micelles was due to the cleavage of the ether bond connected to the pyridine ring. This well controlled HIFU-copolymer micelle drug delivery system has considerable potential in targeted therapy.

Abstract
Manipulation of non-covalent metal–metal interactions allows the fabrication of functional metallosupramolecular structures with diverse supramolecular behaviors. The majority of reported studies are mostly designed and governed by thermodynamics, with very few examples of metallosupramolecular systems exhibiting intriguing kinetics. Here we report a serendipitous finding of platinum(ii) complexes serving as non-covalent crosslinkers for the fabrication of supramolecular DNA hydrogels. Upon mixing the alkynylplatinum(ii) terpyridine complex with double-stranded DNA in aqueous solution, the platinum(ii) complex molecules are found to first stack into columnar phases by metal–metal and π–π interactions, and then the columnar phases that carry multiple positive charges crosslink the negatively charged DNA strands to form supramolecular hydrogels with luminescence properties and excellent processability. Subsequent platinum(ii) intercalation into DNA competes with the metal–metal and π–π interactions at the crosslinking points, switching on the spontaneous gel-to-sol transition. In the case of a chloro (2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2′-yl)pyridine)platinum(ii) complex, with [Pt(bzimpy)Cl]+ serving as a non-covalent crosslinker where the metal–metal and π–π interactions outcompete platinum(ii) intercalation, the intercalation-driven gel-to-sol transition pathway is blocked since the gel state is energetically more favorable than the sol state. Interestingly, the ligand exchange reaction of the chloro ligand in [Pt(bzimpy)Cl]+ with glutathione (GSH) has endowed the complexes with enhanced hydrophilicity, decreasing the planarity of the complexes, and turning off the metal–metal and π–π interactions at the crosslinking points, leading to GSH-triggered hydrogel dissociation. We report a serendipitous finding of platinum(ii) complexes serving as non-covalent crosslinkers for the fabrication of supramolecular DNA hydrogels.![]()

Abstract
Platinum(II) polypyridine complexes of a square-planar geometry have been used as spectroscopic reporters for quantification of various charged species through non-covalent metal-metal interactions. The characterization of molecular weights and architectures of polyelectrolytes represents a challenging task in polymer science. Here, we report the utilization of platinum(II) complex probes and non-covalent metal-metal interactions for sensing polyelectrolyte lengths and architectures. It is found that the platinum(II) probes can bind to linear polyelectrolytes via electrostatic attractions and give rise to significant spectroscopic changes associated with the formation of metal-metal interactions, and the extent of the spectroscopic changes is found to increase with the lengths of the linear polyelectrolytes. Besides, the platinum(II) probes have been found to co-assemble with the linear polyelectrolytes to form well-defined nanofibers, and the lengths of the linear polyelectrolytes can be directly estimated from the diameter of the nanofibers under transmission electron microscopy observation. Interestingly, upon mixing with the platinum(II) probes, polyelectrolytes with bottlebrush architectures have been found to exhibit larger spectroscopic changes than linear polyelectrolytes with the same chemical composition. Combined with the reported theoretical studies on counterion condensation of polyelectrolytes, the platinum(II) complexes are found to function as spectroscopic probes for sensing the charge densities of the polyelectrolytes with different lengths and diverse architectures. Moreover, platinum(II) probes pre-organized in nanostructured aggregates have been found to intercalate into double-stranded DNA, which are naturally occurring biological polyelectrolytes with helical architectures and intercalation sites, to give significant enhancement of spectroscopic changes when compared to the intercalation of monomeric platinum(II) probes into double-stranded DNA.

Abstract
Alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine complexes have been increasingly explored since the previous decades, mainly arising from their intriguing photophysical properties and aggregation affinities associated with their extensive Pt(II)···Pt(II) and π-π stacking interactions. Through molecular engineering, one can modulate their fundamental properties and assembly behavior by introduction of various functional groups and structural features. They can therefore serve as ideal candidates to construct metal complex-based molecular architectures to provide an alternative to organic compounds. The metal-based framework can be simultaneously built from predetermined building blocks, giving rise to their well-defined, unique, and discrete natures for molecular recognition. The individual constituents can contribute to molecular architectures with their integrated properties, allowing the manipulation of the various noncovalent intermolecular forces and interactions for selective guest capture. In this Account, our recent progress in the development of these metallomolecular frameworks based on the alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine system and their recognition properties toward different guest molecules will be presented. Phosphorescent molecular tweezers have been constructed from the alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine moiety to demonstrate host-guest interactions with cationic, charge-neutral and anionic platinum(II), palladium(II), gold(I), and gold(III) complexes and their binding affinities were found to be perturbed by different metal···metal, π-π and electrostatic interactions. The host-guest assembly process has also resulted in dramatic color changes, together with the turning on of near-IR (NIR) emissions as a result of extensive Pt(II)···Pt(II) interactions. Further work has also been performed to demonstrate that the tweezers can selectively recognize π-surfaces of different planar π-conjugated organic guests. The framework of molecular tweezers has been extended to a double-decker tweezers structure, or a triple-decker structure, which can bind two equivalents of square-planar platinum(II) guests cooperatively to induce a significant color change in solution, representing rare examples of discrete Magnus' green-like salts. By the approaches of structural modifications, we have further modulated the host architecture from molecular tweezers to molecular rectangles. The rectangles have been found to show selective encapsulation of different transition metal complex guests based on the size and steric environment of the host cavity. The molecular rectangles also exhibit reversible host-guest association, in which guest capture and ejection processes can be manipulated by the pH environment, illustrating a potential approach for precise and smart delivery of therapeutic reagents to the slightly more acidic cancer cells.

Abstract
A new class of small molecule-based amphiphilic carbazole-containing compounds has been designed and synthesized. Detailed analysis of the temperature- and solvent-dependent UV-vis absorption spectra has provided insights into the cooperative self-assembly mechanism of the carbazole-containing compounds. Interestingly, the prepared amphiphilic rigid-soft compounds were also found to display a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior in aqueous solution, which is relatively less explored in small molecule-based materials, leading to promising candidates for the design of a new class of thermo-responsive materials.

Abstract
A series of multiaddressable platinum(II) molecular rectangles with different rigidities and cavity sizes has been synthesized by endcapping the U-shaped diplatinum(II) terpyridine moiety with various bis-alkynyl ligands. The studies of the host-guest association with various square planar platinum(II), palladium(II), and gold(III) complexes and the related low-dimensional gold(I) complexes, most of which are potential anticancer therapeutics, have been performed. Excellent guest confinement and selectivity of the rectangular architecture have been shown. Introduction of pH-responsive functionalities to the ligand backbone generates multifunctional molecular rectangles that exhibit reversible guest release and capture on the addition of acids and bases, indicating their potential in controlled therapeutics delivery on pH modulation. The reversible host-guest interactions are found to be strongly perturbed by metal-metal and π-π interactions and to a certain extent, electrostatic interactions, giving rise to various spectroscopic changes depending on the nature of the guest molecules. Their binding mode and thermodynamic parameters have been determined by 2D NMR and van't Hoff analysis and supported by computational study.

Abstract
A dual-drug-loaded micelle is designed and constructed from a mixture of poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(γ-benzyl-l-glutamate)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PPO-b-PBLG-b-PEG) triblock terpolymers and two model drugs, doxorubicin (DOX) and naproxen (Nap). In the micelles, the DOX is chemically linked to the PBLG backbones through an acid-cleavable hydrazone bond, whereas the Nap is physically encapsulated in the cores. The drug loading and releasing behaviors of the dual-drug-loaded micelles as well as single drug-loaded micelles (DOX-conjugated or Nap-loaded micelles) are studied. The structures of micelles are characterized by means of microscopies and dynamic light scattering, and further examined by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. It is revealed that the micelles possess a core-shell-corona structure in which the PPO/Nap, PBLG/DOX, and PEG aggregate to form the core, shell, and corona, respectively. In vitro studies reveal that the release of DOX and Nap is pH- and thermosensitive. Such drug releasing behaviors are also examined by DPD simulations, and more information regarding the mechanism is obtained. In addition, the bio-related properties such as cellular uptake of the micelles and biocompatibility of the deliveries are evaluated. The results show that the dual-drug-loaded micelles are biocompatible at normal physiological conditions and retain the anti-cancer efficiency.

Abstract
The exploration of phosphorescent materials based on transition metal-ligand chromophoric complexes represents an important area of research in molecular materials. The knowledge and fundamental understanding of their photophysical properties offer a possible fine-tuning of their electronic absorption and luminescence properties. The strong propensity of d(8) transition metal compounds to form non-covalent metal···metal interactions facilitates supramolecular assembly and the formation of supramolecular nanostructures with interesting photophysical properties. The introduction of supramolecular assembly with hierarchical complexity involving non-covalent interactions could lead to research dimensions of unlimited possibilities and opportunities. This article briefly summarizes the latest progress on the use of d(8) metal-ligand chromophores as chemosensors, as exemplified by alkynylplatinum(II) complexes with emphasis on supramolecular assembly involving non-covalent interactions, and the recent advances in the utilization of d(8) metal-ligand phosphors, as exemplified by alkynylgold(III) system, for the exploration and development of phosphorescent OLEDs.

Abstract
Polymeric micelles are ideal carriers for solubilization and targeting applications using hydrophobic drugs. Stability of colloidal aggregates upon injection into the bloodstream is mandatory to maintain the drugs' targeting potential and to influence pharmacokinetics. In this review we analyzed and discussed the most relevant stress mechanisms that polymeric micelles and related colloidal carriers encounter upon injection, including (1) dilution, (2) interactions with blood components, and (3) immunological responses of the body. In detail we analyzed the opsonin-dysopsonin hypothesis that points at a connection between a particles' protein-corona and its tissue accumulation by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. In the established theory, size is seen as a necessary condition to reach nanoparticle accumulation in disease modified tissue. There is, however, mounting evidence of other sufficient conditions (e.g., particle charge, receptor recognition of proteins adsorbed onto particle surfaces) triggering nanoparticle extravasation by active mechanisms. In conclusion, the analyzed stress mechanisms are directly responsible for in vivo success or failure of the site-specific delivery with colloidal carrier systems.

A polystyrene-[Ni(2+)]-poly(ethylene oxide) metallo-supramolecular block copolymer (PS-[Ni(2+)]-PEO), where -[ is a terpyridine, is used to create nanoporous thin films with free terpyridine ligands homogenously distributed on the pore walls. The PS-[Ni(2+)]-PEO block copolymer is synthesized by a two step assembly process, and is then self-assembled into a thin film in order to obtain PEO cylinders oriented perpendicularly to the film surface. The supramolecular junction is opened by exposing the film to an excess of a competing ligand, and the free PEO block is then rinsed away by a selective solvent. The presence of the terpyridines on the pore walls is evidenced by fluorescence spectroscopy after formation of a fluorescent complex with an europium salt.
