text: Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs), phase-separating solutions of water soluble
but mutually immiscible molecular species, offer fascinating prospects for selective
partitioning, purification, and extraction. Here, we formulate a general Brownian
dynamics based coarse-grained simulation model for an ATPS of two water soluble
but mutually immiscible polymer species. Including additional solute species into
the model is straightforward, which enables capturing the assembly and partitioning
response of, e.g., nanoparticles (NPs), additional macromolecular species, or
impurities in the ATPS. We demonstrate that the simulation model captures satisfactorily
the phase separation, partitioning, and interfacial properties of an actual ATPS
using a model ATPS in which a polymer mixture of dextran and polyethylene glycol
(PEG) phase separates, and magnetic NPs selectively partition into one of the
two polymeric phases. Phase separation and NP partitioning are characterized both
via the computational model and experimentally, under different conditions. The
simulation model captures the trends observed in the experimental system and quantitatively
links the partitioning behavior to the component species interactions. Finally,
the simulation model reveals that the ATPS interface fluctuations in systems with
magnetic NPs as a partitioned species can be controlled by the magnetic field
at length scales much smaller than those probed experimentally to date.

text: Light-driven molecular rotary motors perform chirality-controlled unidirectional
rotations fueled by light and heat. This unique function renders them appealing
for the construction of dynamic molecular systems, actuating materials, and molecular
machines. Achieving a combination of high photoefficiency, visible-light responsiveness,
synthetic accessibility, and easy tuning of dynamic properties within a single
scaffold is critical for these applications but remains a longstanding challenge.
Herein, a series of highly photoefficient visible-light–responsive molecular motors
(MMs), featuring various rotary speeds, was obtained by a convenient one-step
formylation of their parent motors. This strategy greatly improves all aspects
of the performance of MMs—red-shifted wavelengths of excitation, high photoisomerization
quantum yields, and high photostationary state distributions of isomers—beyond
the state-of-the-art light-responsive MM systems. The development of this late-stage
functionalization strategy of MMs opens avenues for the construction of high-performance
molecular machines and devices for applications in materials science and biological
systems, representing a major advance in the synthetic toolbox of molecular machines.

text: Photo-responsive systems based on azobenzenes usually require UV light for
E→Z isomerization, limiting their applicability, especially in biomedical contexts.
Disequilibration by sensitization of azobenzene under confinement (DESC) has recently
emerged as a supramolecular strategy to bypass this limitation without the need
to derivatize the azobenzene scaffold. Here, we expand DESC to water-soluble azopolymers
obtained by RAFT polymerization and systematically investigate the interplay between
the polymer structure and DESC efficiency. Using this approach, we achieved as
much as 85% of the direct photoexcitation (UV) switching efficiency, while utilizing
low-energy (yellow) light. These results establish general design principles for
combining DESC with polymeric systems, opening new opportunities for the development
of functional materials driven with low-energy light.

text: Inorganic nanoparticles can be assembled into superlattices with unique optical
and magnetic properties arising from collective behavior. Protein cages can be
utilized to guide this assembly by encapsulating nanoparticles and promoting their
assembly into ordered structures. However, creating ordered multi-component structures
with different protein cage types and sizes remains a challenge. Here, the co-crystallization
of two different protein cages (cowpea chlorotic mottle virus and ferritin) characterized
by opposing surface charges and unequal diameter is shown. Precise tuning of the
electrostatic attraction between the cages enabled the preparation of binary crystals
with dimensions up to several tens of micrometers. Additionally, binary metal
nanoparticle superlattices are achieved by loading gold and iron oxide nanoparticles
inside the cavities of the protein cages. The resulting structure adopts an AB2FCC
configuration that also impacts the dipolar coupling between the particles and
hence the optical properties of the crystals, providing key insight for the future
preparation of plasmonic and magnetic nanoparticle metamaterials.

text: Photoisomerization and photoluminescence are two distinct energy dissipation
pathways in light-driven molecular motors. The photoisomerization properties of
discrete molecular motors have been well established in solution, but their photoluminescent
properties have been rarely reported—especially in aggregates. Here, it is shown
that an overcrowded alkene-based molecular motor exhibits distinct dynamic properties
in solution and aggregate states, for example, gel and solid states. Despite the
poor emissive properties of molecular motors in solution, a bright emission is
observed in the aggregate states, including in gel and the crystalline solid.
The emission wavelength is highly dependent on the nature of the supramolecular
packing and order in the aggregates. As a result, the fluorescent color can be
readily tuned reversibly via mechanical grinding and vapor fuming, which provides
a new platform for developing multi-stimuli functional materials.

text: The development of photoresponsive systems with non-invasive orthogonal control
by distinct wavelengths of light is still in its infancy. In particular, the design
of photochemically triggered-orthogonal systems integrated into solid materials
that enable multiple dynamic control over their properties remains a longstanding
challenge. Here, we report the orthogonal and reversible control of two types
of photoswitches in an integrated solid porous framework, that is, visible-light
responsive o-fluoroazobenzene and nitro-spiropyran motifs. The properties of the
constructed material can be selectively controlled by different wavelengths of
light thus generating four distinct states providing a basis for dynamic multifunctional
materials. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy demonstrated the selective transformation
of the azobenzene switch in the bulk, which in turn modulates N2 and CO2 adsorption.

text: Light-driven rotary molecular motors are among the most promising classes
of responsive molecular machines and take advantage of their intrinsic chirality
which governs unidirectional rotation. As a consequence of their dynamic function,
they receive considerable interest in the areas of supramolecular chemistry, asymmetric
catalysis and responsive materials. Among the emerging classes of responsive photochromic
molecules, multistate first-generation molecular motors driven by benign visible
light remain unexplored, which limits the exploitation of the full potential of
these mechanical light-powered systems. Herein, we describe a series of all-visible-light-driven
first-generation molecular motors based on the salicylidene Schiff base functionality.
Remarkable redshifts up to 100 nm in absorption are achieved compared to conventional
first-generation motor structures. Taking advantage of all-visible-light-driven
multistate motor scaffolds, adaptive behaviour is found as well, and potential
application in multistate photoluminescence is demonstrated. These functional
visible-light-responsive motors will likely stimulate the design and synthesis
of more sophisticated nanomachinery with a myriad of future applications in powering
dynamic systems.

text: The architecture of self-assembled host molecules can profoundly affect the
properties of the encapsulated guests. For example, a rigid cage with small windows
can efficiently protect its contents from the environment; in contrast, tube-shaped,
flexible hosts with large openings and an easily accessible cavity are ideally
suited for catalysis. Here, we report a “Janus” nature of a Pd6L4 coordination
host previously reported to exist exclusively as a tube isomer (T). We show that
upon encapsulating various tetrahedrally shaped guests, T can reconfigure into
a cage-shaped host (C) in quantitative yield. Extracting the guest affords empty
C, which is metastable and spontaneously relaxes to T, and the T⇄C interconversion
can be repeated for multiple cycles. Reversible toggling between two vastly different
isomers paves the way toward controlling functional properties of coordination
hosts “on demand”.

text: Photoisomerization of azobenzenes from their stable E isomer to the metastable
Z state is the basis of numerous applications of these molecules. However, this
reaction typically requires ultraviolet light, which limits applicability. In
this study, we introduce disequilibration by sensitization under confinement (DESC),
a supramolecular approach to induce the E-to-Z isomerization by using light of
a desired color, including red. DESC relies on a combination of a macrocyclic
host and a photosensitizer, which act together to selectively bind and sensitize
E-azobenzenes for isomerization. The Z isomer lacks strong affinity for and is
expelled from the host, which can then convert additional E-azobenzenes to the
Z state. In this way, the host–photosensitizer complex converts photon energy
into chemical energy in the form of out-of-equilibrium photostationary states,
including ones that cannot be accessed through direct photoexcitation.
