Abstract
The scientific effort toward achieving a full control over the correlation between structure and function in organic and polymer electronics has prompted the use of supramolecular interactions to drive the formation of highly ordered functional assemblies, which have been integrated into real devices. In the resulting field of supramolecular electronics, self-assembly of organic semiconducting materials constitutes a powerful tool to generate low-dimensional and crystalline functional architectures. These include 1D nanostructures (nanoribbons, nanotubes, and nanowires) and 2D molecular crystals with tuneable and unique optical, electronic, and mechanical properties. Optimizing the (opto)electronic properties of organic semiconducting materials is imperative to harness such supramolecular structures as active components for supramolecular electronics. However, their integration in real devices currently represents a significant challenge to the advancement of (opto)electronics. Here, an overview of the unconventional nanofabrication techniques and device configurations to enable supramolecular electronics to become a real technology is provided. A particular focus is put on how single and multiple supramolecular fibers and gels as well as supramolecularly engineered 2D materials can be integrated into novel vertical or horizontal junctions to realize flexible and high-density multifunctional transistors, photodetectors, and memristors, exhibiting a set of new properties and excelling in their performances.

Abstract
Tetra- and hexacatenar amide compounds containing a linear centrosymmetric benzobisthiazole core were synthesized with good yields. These compounds were characterized and their structures confirmed by elemental analysis, and FT-IR, Maldi mass and NMR spectroscopy. All compounds exhibited excellent thermal stability up to 330 °C. The tetracatenar series containing a double substitution in the meta positions did not show mesomorphic behaviour, whereas the hexacatenar and tetracatenar series having a double substitution in the meta and para positions showed liquid crystal properties with optical textures typical of columnar mesophases corroborated by POM analysis. The mesomorphic properties were dependent on the length, number and position of alkoxy chains attached at the end of the rigid core. XRD studies of the hexacatenar series showed the hexagonal columnar structure of the mesophases. Photoluminescence properties in solution were observed in the visible region, with good quantum yields. In the solid state, these compounds behave as blue emitters and they are able to change colour with acid or base addition. The hexacatenar benzobisthiazole compound with an alkoxy chain of 14 carbons presented properties of a supergelator in chloroform, leading to the formation of a fluorescent organogel material with fluorescence emission in the blue region.

Abstract
Hierarchical self-assembly of small abiotic molecular modules interacting through noncovalent forces is increasingly being used to generate functional structures and materials for electronic, catalytic, and biomedical applications. The greatest control over the geometry in H-bond supramolecular architectures, especially in H-bonded supramolecular polymers, can be achieved by using conformationally rigid molecular modules undergoing self-assembly through strong H-bonds. Their binding strength depends on the multiplicity of the H-bonds, the nature of donor/acceptor pairs and their secondary attractive/repulsive interactions. Here a functionalized molecular module is described, which is capable of self-associating through self-complementary H-bonding patterns comprising four strong and two medium-strength H-bonds to form dimers. The self-association of these phenylpyrimidine-based dimers through directional H-bonding between two lateral pyridin-2(1H)-one units of neighboring molecules allows the formation of highly compact 1D supramolecular polymers by self-assembly on graphite. A concentration-dependent study by scanning tunneling microscopy at the solid-liquid interface, corroborated by dispersion-corrected density functional studies, reveals the controlled generation of either linear supramolecular 2D arrays, or long helical supramolecular polymers with a high shape persistence.

Abstract
A series of tree-shaped, amphiphilic dendrimers was synthesized. The products belong to the family of one-directional arborols of the form ([9]-n), where the notation signifies that each molecule has nine hydroxyl groups ([9]-) as the hydrophilic head and an alkyl chain as the hydrophobic moiety (n = 6, 8, or 10 carbon atoms). The surfactant character changes dramatically as the number of methylene groups increases. The critical micelle concentration of [9]-6 was determined, and pressure-area isotherms of the less soluble [9]-8 and [9]-10 were obtained. Large structures existed atop the spread layers. Large structures were also found in solutions of [9]-6.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of resolving overlapping 13C chemical shift spectral lines of aromatic rings in a thiophene-based nematogen in the mesophase using a 2D PITANSEMA solid-state NMR method. This technique provided the information about chemical shift values as well as dipolar couplings that are used for determining the orientational order parameter. Large C-H dipolar coupling values measured for thiophene in contrast to phenyl rings suggest that the heterocyclic ring is not part of the molecular axis. Using the order parameter, we determined the orientation of C-H vectors of the thiophene ring. We believe that the 2D solid-state NMR can be extended to other types of liquid crystalline materials such as the banana-based mesogens for determining the orientational order and bent angle.
