Abstract Through elaborate ligand design to create knotted structures with specific topologies is a major challenge for chemists. In this work, the self-assembly between U-shape 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1,8-diethynyl-9H-carbazole (H2L) and Au+ through gold(I)-bis(acetylide) linkages under π-bonded Cu+ template gives rise to complex 1 with two interlocked metallostrands as well as complexes 3 (n = 3) and 4 (n = 4) with [(AuL)n]n- metallostrands showing trefoil knot topology. Upon incorporating two [Au(dppb)Au]2+ (dppb = Ph2P(CH2)4PPh2) moieties through bis(Au-acetylide) coordination bonds, the interlocked structure (1) is fully closed to form a figure-eight knotted structure in complex 2. The folding and threading of metallocyclic strings are directed by Cu+, which are π-ligated to two or three acetylides to generate double-folding or triple-folding cross points. Complexes 1-4 show intense phosphorescence in both solutions and solid states at ambient temperature, originating from admixture of metal centered 3[d®p/s], 3IL (intraligand), and 3[p (L) ® s/p (Au/Cu)] 3LMCT triplet states.

The self-assembly of [MoV(CN)8]3− and [FeII(bik)2(S)2]2+ affords a cyanide-bridged {MoV2FeII2} rhombus molecule that shows photomagnetic effect under laser light irradiation at low temperatures and exhibits thermo-induced spin crossover near ambient temperature.

A new pyrazine functionalized polydentate ligand with distinct binding domains facilitates the self-assembly of a unique paddlewheel bridged 1D coordination polymer of formula {[Cu3(L3)2(Cl)2(OAc)6]·2H2O·2MeOH}n that has been structurally and magnetically characterized.

This manuscript reports the synthesis and the self-assembly of (4-3,4,5-3,5)nG2-CH2-Boc-l-Tyr-l-Ala-OMe dendritic dipeptides (n = 12, 16). These dendritic dipeptides self-assemble both in solution and in solid states into helical porous supramolecular columns that mimic porous transmembrane proteins. These supramolecular assemblies provide also a new class of tubular supramolecular polymers.

The self-assembly of the terpyridine-based ligand exhibited strong emission in the presence of Zn2+ due to the formation of coordination bonds between the terpyridine moieties and the Zn2+ by the aggregation-induced emission effect.

Siloxane–poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (Si–PAMAM) can emit strong luminescence due to the aggregation of carbonyl groups, induced by N → Si coordination bonds. So the fluorescence of Si–PAMAM could be adjusted by solvents, H+, metal ions, and dendrimer structures. Micron-sized tube were observed in water–methanol due to the self-assembly of Si–PAMAM.

The major protein of the blue-green algae is the biliprotein, C-phycocyanin (Amax = 620 nm), which is presumed to exist in the cell in the form of distinct aggregates called phycobilisomes. The self-assembly of C-phycocyanin from monomer to hexamer has been extensively studied, but the proposed next step in the assembly of a phycobilisome, the formation of 19s subunits, is completely unknown. We have used electron microscopy and analytical ultracentrifugation in combination with a method for rapid and gentle extraction of phycocyanin to study its subunit structure and assembly.To establish the existence of phycobilisomes, cells of P. boryanum in the log phase of growth, growing at a light intensity of 200 foot candles, were fixed in 2% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M cacodylate buffer, pH 7.0, for 3 hours at 4°C. The cells were post-fixed in 1% OsO4 in the same buffer overnight. Material was stained for 1 hour in uranyl acetate (1%), dehydrated and embedded in araldite and examined in thin sections.

A mutant of Bacillus licheniformis 749/C, NM 105 exhibits some notable properties, e.g., arrest of alkaline phosphatase secretion and overexpression and hypersecretion of RS protein. Although RS is known to be widely distributed in many microbes, it is rarely found, with a few exceptions, in laboratory cultures of microorganisms. RS protein is a structural protein and has the unusual properties to form aggregate. This characteristic may have been responsible for the self assembly of RS into regular tetragonal structures. Another uncommon characteristic of RS is that enhanced synthesis and secretion which occurs when the cells cease to grow. Assembled RS protein with a tetragonal structure is not seen inside cells at any stage of cell growth including cells in the stationary phase of growth. Gel electrophoresis of the culture supernatant shows a very large amount of RS protein in the stationary culture of the B. licheniformis. It seems, Therefore, that the RS protein is cotranslationally secreted and self assembled on the envelope surface.
