Three new heteroatom bay-annulated perylene bisimides (PBIs) have been synthesized by microwave-assisted synthesis in excellent yield. N-annulated and S-annulated perylene bisimides exhibited columnar hexagonal phase, whereas Se-annulated perylene bisimide exhibited low temperature columnar oblique phase in addition to the high temperature columnar hexagonal phase. The cup shaped bay-annulated PBIs pack into columns with enhanced intermolecular interactions. In comparison to PBI, these molecules exhibited lower melting and clearing temperature, with good solubility. A small red shift in the absorption was seen in the case of N-annulated PBI, whereas S- and Se-annulated PBIs exhibited blue-shifted absorption spectra. Bay-annulation increased the HOMO and LUMO levels of the N-annulated perylene bisimide, whereas a slight increase in the LUMO level and a decrease in the HOMO levels were observed in the case of S- and Se-annulated perylene bisimides, in comparison to the simple perylene bisimide. The band gaps of PBI and PBI-N were almost same, whereas an increase in the band gaps were observed in the case of S- and Se-annulated PBIs. The tendency to freeze in the ordered glassy columnar phase for PBI-N and PBI-S will help to overcome the charge traps due to crystallization, which are detrimental to one-dimensional charge carrier mobility. These solution processable electron deficient columnar semiconductors possessing good thermal stability may form an easily accessible promising class of n-type materials.

Four different (chiral) electron-deficient (n-type) perylene bisimides containing aliphatic, aromatic, or ethyleneoxide side chaines have been synthesized and fully characterized. All of them form supramolecular stacks in apolar methylcyclohexane (MCH) solution as demonstrated by concentration- and temperature-dependent absorption, circular dichroism, and fluorescence studies. One derivative was investigated in more detail in the solid state and proven to be liquid crystalline and capable of forming nanometer-sized fiberlike networks when drop-cast from MCH. Optical spectroscopy techniques show that perylene bisimide and an oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) (p-type) derivative orthogonally self-assemble into separate nanosized p-and n-type stacks in MCH. In contrast in toluene only molecularly dissolved species are present. In films deposited from MCH as well as from toluene photoinduced electron transfer takes place from the p-type material to the n-type material. As a result of the orthogonal self-assembly process, in films from MCH an ordered network of fibers was formed, whereas in films from toluene no ordering was observed. However, probably due to the lateral orientation on the surface and the presence of long aliphatic chains pointing toward the electrodes, efficient bulk heterojunction solar cells could not be constructed.

Efficient viral or nonviral delivery of nucleic acids is the key step of genetic nanomedicine. Both viral and synthetic vectors have been successfully employed for genetic delivery with recent examples being DNA, adenoviral, and mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines. Viral vectors can be target specific and very efficient but can also mediate severe immune response, cell toxicity, and mutations. Four-component lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) containing ionizable lipids, phospholipids, cholesterol for mechanical properties, and PEG-conjugated lipid for stability represent the current leading nonviral vectors for mRNA. However, the segregation of the neutral ionizable lipid as droplets in the core of the LNP, the "PEG dilemma", and the stability at only very low temperatures limit their efficiency. Here, we report the development of a one-component multifunctional ionizable amphiphilic Janus dendrimer (IAJD) delivery system for mRNA that exhibits high activity at a low concentration of ionizable amines organized in a sequence-defined arrangement. Six libraries containing 54 sequence-defined IAJDs were synthesized by an accelerated modular-orthogonal methodology and coassembled with mRNA into dendrimersome nanoparticles (DNPs) by a simple injection method rather than by the complex microfluidic technology often used for LNPs. Forty four (81%) showed activity in vitro and 31 (57%) in vivo. Some, exhibiting organ specificity, are stable at 5 °C and demonstrated higher transfection efficiency than positive control experiments in vitro and in vivo. Aside from practical applications, this proof of concept will help elucidate the mechanisms of packaging and release of mRNA from DNPs as a function of ionizable amine concentration, their sequence, and constitutional isomerism of IAJDs.
Constitutional Dynamic Selection at Low Reynolds Number in a Triple Dynamic System: Covalent Dynamic Adaptation Driven by Double Supramolecular Self-Assembly

A triple dynamic complex system has been designed, implementing a dynamic covalent process coupled to two supramolecular self-assembly steps. To this end, two dynamic covalent libraries (DCLs), DCL-1 and DCL-2, have been established on the basis of dynamic covalent C-C/C-N organo-metathesis between two Knoevenagel derivatives and two imines. Each DCL contains a barbituric acid-based Knoevenagel constituent that may undergo a sequential double self-organization process involving first the formation of hydrogen-bonded hexameric supramolecular macrocycles that subsequently undergo stacking to generate a supramolecular polymer SP yielding a viscous gel state. Both DCLs display selective self-organization-driven amplification of the constituent that leads to the SP. Dissociation of the SP on heating causes reversible randomization of the constituent distributions of the DCLs as a function of temperature. Furthermore, diverse distribution patterns of DCL-2 were induced by modulation of temperature and solvent composition. The present dynamic systems display remarkable self-organization-driven constitutional adaption and tunable composition by coupling between dynamic covalent component selection and two-stage supramolecular organization. In more general terms, they reveal dynamic adaptation by component selection in low Reynolds number conditions of living systems where frictional effects dominate inertial behavior.
Self-assembly and solid-state polymerization of butadiyne derivatives with amide and trialkoxyphenyl groups

, p. 298 - 305 (2017/05/10)
Three butadiyne derivatives with amide and tri(dodecyloxy)-phenyl (TDP) groups were synthesized, and four solidification methods were applied to obtain their self-assembling states in various conditions. The solids obtained were characterized by the solid-state polymerization behaviors, stretching vibration wavenumbers of N-H bonds of amide groups, powder X-ray diffraction, the thermal behaviors, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations. We found that all compounds had at least two polymorphs. Property differences between two polymorphs depended on the compounds. Two compounds showed clear differences in UV-vis spectra of the photo-polymerized solids, i.e., the polydiacetylene (PDA) structure, and irregularly polymerized form, or two PDA structures. The remaining compound showed the same PDA absorption but the monomer melting points were different. All compounds gave the gels in various organic solvents because of the molecular design with amide and TDP groups. SEM observation clarified the relationship between gel appearance and the nanostructures.

When sufficient volume of dodecyl chains are attached at one imide position of a perylenediimide (PDI) or naphthalenediimide (NDI) core and triethyleneglycol (TEG) chains on the other side, the resulting molecules PDIC12/TEGG0, PDIC12/TEGG1, and NDIC12/TEGG0 self-assemble into a rectangular columnar mesophase with p2mg symmetry, forming hydrophobic/hydrophilic nano-segregation of side chains. The driving force of PDIC12/TEGG0 to form preferentially the rectangular columnar mesophase is given by the immiscibility between the side chain pairs - exclusion of other phases such as cubic, crystalline and amorphous phases, where thermodynamically unstable contacts between hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains considerably take place. In contrast, this preference is less found in the analogous molecules decorated with either dodecyl or TEG chains at both termini. PDIC12/C12G0 and PDITEG/TEGG0 form a hexagonal columnar mesophase because of the optimized chain/core volume. However, if the side chain volume grows, PDITEG/TEGG1 does not form a mesophase but undergoes a soft crystalline-isotropic phase transition, while PDIC12/C12G1 was revealed to destabilize its columnar mesophase but forms a micellar cubic phase. NDIC12/C12G0 resulted in a strong crystallization, while NDITEG/TEGG0 formed amorphous liquid. The molecular design strategy using immiscible side chain pairs potentially enables a variety of π-systems to stack up to form a columnar phase rather than other ordered phases, regardless of the chain/core volume balance.

The dendronized perylene 3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic acid bisimide (PBI), (3,4,5)12G1-1-PBI, was reported by our laboratory to self-assemble into complex helical columns containing dimers of dendronized PBI with one molecule in each stratum, with different intra- and interdimer rotation angles but identical intra- and interdimer distance of 3.5 ?, exhibiting a four-strata 2 1 helical repeat. A thermodynamically controlled 2D columnar hexagonal phase with short-range intracolumnar order represents the thermodynamic product at high temperature, while a kinetically controlled monoclinic columnar array with 3D periodicity is the thermodynamic product at low temperature. With heating and cooling rates higher than 10 C/min to 1 C/min, at low temperature the 2D columnar periodic array is the kinetic product for this dendronized PBI. Here the synthesis and structural analysis of a library of (3,4,5)nG1-m-PBI with n = 12 to 6 and m = 1 are reported. A combination of differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction on powder and orientated fibers, including pattern simulation and electron density map reconstruction, and solid-state NMR, all as a function of temperature and heating and cooling rate, was employed for their structural analysis. It was discovered that at low temperature the as-prepared n = 12 to 10 exhibit a 3D layered array that transforms irreversibly into columnar periodicities during heating and cooling. Also the kinetically controlled 3D columnar phase of n = 12 becomes thermodynamically controlled for n = 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6. This unprecedented transformation is expected to facilitate the design of functions from dendronized PBI and other self-assembling building blocks.
