The design of supramolecular hydrogels comprising aligned domains is important for the fabrication of biomimetic materials and applications in optoelectronics. One way to access such materials is by the self-assembly of small molecules into long fibres, which can be aligned using an external stimulus. Out-of-equilibrium supramolecular gels can also be designed, where pre-programmed changes of state can be induced by the addition of chemical fuels. Here we exploit these dynamic properties to form materials with aligned domains through a ‘forging’ approach: an external force is used to rearrange the underlying network from random to aligned fibres as the system undergoes a pre-programmed gel-to-sol-to-gel transition. We show that we can predictably organize the supramolecular fibres, leading to controllable formation of materials with aligned domains through a high degree of temporal control. Dynamic supramolecular systems can be designed to adapt phases in a pre-programmable way. Here the transient nature of a gel system is exploited, in combination with the application of mechanical stimuli, to obtain soft materials with aligned fibres in a controllable way.

Controlled synthesis of metastable materials away from equilibrium is of interest in materials chemistry. Thin-film deposition methods with rapid condensation of vapour precursors can readily synthesize metastable phases but often struggle to yield the thermodynamic ground state. Growing thermodynamically stable structures using kinetically limited synthesis methods is important for practical applications in electronics and energy conversion. Here we reveal a synthesis pathway to thermodynamically stable, ordered layered ternary nitride materials, and discuss why disordered metastable intermediate phases tend to form. We show that starting from elemental vapour precursors leads to a 3D long-range-disordered MgMoN2 thin-film metastable intermediate structure, with a layered short-range order that has a low-energy transformation barrier to the layered 2D-like stable structure. This synthesis approach is extended to ScTaN2, MgWN2 and MgTa2N3, and may lead to the synthesis of other layered nitride thin films with unique semiconducting and quantum properties. Synthesis of metastable materials away from thermodynamic equilibrium has been a challenge in materials chemistry, but thin-film methods often struggle to yield ground-state structures. Now, a synthesis pathway to thin films of stable layered ternary nitrides is revealed, and the tendency for metastable intermediate formation is discussed.

Sulfation, a ubiquitous post-translational modification in biomolecules, primarily targets substrates containing OH groups through O-sulfonation (O–SO3). A method for sulfation via the formation of C–O bonds has the potential to access organic sulfates from a broad substrate scope and in a stereoselective manner but remains elusive. Stereospecific C–O bond formation via 1,2-metallate migration in peroxide oxidation has not been deployed to create any other valuable C–O bonds apart from C–OH. Here we describe a fundamentally unique reactivity of persulfate salts for stereospecific C–O sulfation via 1,4-metallate migration. With the aid of readily accessible, stereodefined organic boron compounds derived from native functionalities and a tandem borylation–sulfation approach, our study thus expands to include hydrosulfation of alkenes, C–H sulfation, decarboxylative sulfation, dehalogenative sulfation and deaminative sulfation, which are not otherwise readily accessible. O-sulfonation is a common method for producing organosulfates but is limited to hydroxyl compounds. Here the unique reactivity of persulfates enables stereospecific C–O sulfation via 1,4-metallate migration. This approach provides an unprecedented platform to readily access structurally diverse organosulfates from a wide substrate scope.

Natural proteins must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to achieve excellent mechanical properties vital for biological functions, but this has proven to be exceptionally difficult to control in synthetic systems. As such, the long-standing issue of low mechanical rigidity and stability induced by misfolding constrains the physical and chemical properties of self-assembling peptide materials. Here we introduce a mixed-chirality strategy that enhances folding efficiency in topologically interlocked metallopeptide nanostructures. The orderly entanglement of heterochiral peptide-derived linkers can fold into a compact three-dimensional catenane. These folding-mediated secondary structural changes not only generate biomimetic binding pockets derived from individual peptide strands but also result in strong chiral amplification by the tight interlocking manner. Notably, this strategic ‘chirality mutation’ alters their arrangement into tertiary structures and is pivotal in achieving exceptional mechanical rigidity observed in the metallopeptide crystals, which exhibit a Young’s modulus of 157.6 GPa, approximately tenfold higher than the most rigid proteinaceous materials in nature. This unusual nature is reflected in enhanced peptide-binding properties and heightened antimicrobial activities relative to its unfolded counterpart. A strategy is introduced for promoting the folding in metallopeptide nanostructures, resulting in high mechanical rigidity. The mechanical properties are reflected in enhanced peptide-binding properties and heightened antimicrobial activities relative to their unfolded counterparts.

In 2012, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes were demonstrated to be bioisosteres of the benzene ring. Here, we report a general scalable reaction between alkyl iodides and propellane that provides bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane iodides in milligram, gram and even kilogram quantities. The reaction is performed in flow and requires just light; no catalysts, initiators or additives are needed. The reaction is clean enough that, in many cases, evaporation of the reaction mixture provides products in around 90% purity that can be directly used in further transformations without any purification. Combined with the subsequent functionalization, >300 bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes for medicinal chemistry have been prepared. So far, this is the most general and scalable approach towards functionalized bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes. A general and scalable approach to prepare functionalized bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes is reported. The key reaction between alkyl iodides and propellane is performed in flow and requires just light; no catalysts, initiators or additives are needed. Combined with the subsequent functionalization, >300 bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes for medicinal chemistry have been prepared.

Supermolecular building block (SBB) approaches have been widely used for synthesizing highly connected metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). However, it remains a challenge to synthesize trinodal MOFs via SBB approaches. Here we report the assembly of (3,12,24)-connected uru-MOFs via a hetero-supermolecular-building-block (hetero-SBB) strategy, that is, using different types of highly connected metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs) as building units. This hetero-SBB strategy allows the facile synthesis of previously inaccessible uru-MOFs via 12-connected cuboctahedral and 24-connected rhombicuboctahedral MOPs. The uru-MOF-1, consisting of hierarchical microporous and mesoporous cages, exhibits a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller area of 3,170 m2 g−1. This MOF shows a high methane uptake of 339.6 cm3 (standard temperature and pressure) cm−3 at 159 K and 10 bar and is a promising candidate for low-temperature methane storage. The hetero-SBB strategy paves a way for the designed synthesis of highly connected MOFs, which are difficult to synthesize via traditional strategies, by taking advantage of the arsenal of synthetic MOPs. The synthesis of isoreticular (3,12,24)-connected uru metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported by the assembly of 12-connected cuboctahedral and 24-connected rhombicuboctahedral supermolecular building blocks. The resulting uru-MOF-1 is a promising candidate for low-temperature methane storage.

The vast structural diversity of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and the ability to tailor the structures makes the materials applicable for a broad range of uses. Traditional bottom-up and top-down design approaches have enabled a rapid increase in this structural diversity, yet the systematic screening for unknown synthesizable MOFs remains a challenge. Here we report a design strategy, the up–down approach, by merging the bottom-up and top-down approaches. This approach bridges the advantages of both methods, creating a synergistic strategy for discovering MOF structures. Targeting Zr-based MOFs, we search promising topology candidates and unveiled 26 future structural configurations by considering the possible orientations of Zr6 clusters. Through ribbon representation and sophisticated analysis of the ligand angles, we suggest structure models and synthesize Zr6-based MOFs with bct (1) and scu (1) configurations. The up–down approach will accelerate the discovery of previously unknown or inaccessible MOFs, providing exciting opportunities to expand the chemical space of MOFs. An up–down approach for discovering metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) identifies 26 unknown Zr-based MOF configurations and provides a valuable guide for synthetic chemists to expand the chemical space of MOFs.
