Supramolecular polymers are linear chains of low molar mass monomers held together by reversible and directional non-covalent interactions, which can form gels or highly viscous solutions if the self-assembled chains are sufficiently long and rigid. The viscosity of these solutions can be controlled by adding monofunctional compounds, which interact with the chain extremities: chain stoppers. We have synthesized new substituted ureas and thioureas and tested them as chain stoppers for a bis-urea based supramolecular polymer. In particular, the bis-thiourea analogue of the bis-urea monomer is shown not to form a supramolecular polymer, but a good chain stopper, because it is a strong hydrogen bond donor and a weak acceptor. Moreover, all substituted ureas tested reduce the viscosity of the supramolecular polymer solutions, but the best chain stopper is obtained when two hydrogen bond acceptors are placed in the same relative position as for the monomer and when no hydrogen bond donor is present.

A central paradigm of self-assembly is to create ordered structures starting from molecular<br>monomers that spontaneously recognize and interact with each other via noncovalent interactions.<br>In the recent years, great efforts have been directed toward reaching the perfection in the<br>design of a variety of supramolecular polymers and materials with different architectures. The<br>resulting structures are often thought of as ideally perfect, defect-free supramolecular fibers,<br>micelles, vesicles, etc., having an intrinsic dynamic character, which are typically studied at the<br>level of statistical ensembles to assess their average properties. However, molecular simulations<br>recently demonstrated that local defects that may be present or may form in these assemblies, and which are poorly captured by conventional approaches, are key to controlling their dynamic<br>behavior and properties. The study of these defects poses considerable challenges, as the<br>flexible/dynamic nature of these soft systems makes it difficult to identify what effectively constitutes<br>a defect, and to characterize its stability and evolution. Here, we demonstrate the power<br>of unsupervised machine learning techniques to systematically identify and compare defects in<br>supramolecular polymer variants in different conditions, using as a benchmark 5°A-resolution<br>coarse-grained molecular simulations of a family of supramolecular polymers. We shot that this<br>approach allows a complete data-driven characterization of the internal structure and dynamics<br>of these complex assemblies and of the dynamic pathways for defects formation and resorption.<br>This provides a useful, generally applicable approach to unambiguously identify defects in<br>these dynamic self-assembled materials and to classify them based on their structure, stability<br>and dynamics.<br>
