As mentioned in the introduction section, the photoluminescent properties of molecular assemblies depend on the assembled structures of photoluminescent moieties [11, 21-34]. If assembled structures of photoluminescent moieties are changed by external stimuli, stimuli-responsive photoluminescent materials can be prepared. Recently, we have reported on anthracene, pyrene and naphthalene derivatives 1-3 having dendritic moieties which contain amide moieties to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2) [28-30]. These dendritic moieties are known to be... 

The second use of hydrogen bonding to tune aromatic stacking interactions can be best explained by the relative lack of directionality associated with the r-stacking interaction. The last example in the previous section shows that, despite the introduction of four aromatic stacking interactions at the periphery of linear hydrogen-bonded self-assembled structures, no major perturbations affect... 

The use of amphiphilic block polymers to form micelles and other self-assembled structures is well known and documented (Riess, 2003). Enzymatically induced disassembly of such structures can be accomplished in two ways. Firstly, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer blocks can be separated from each other through introduction of an enzyme-sensitive linker. To this end, polymer blocks joined by ester links (Azagarsamy et al. 

Scheme 1). Introduction of a jt bond into the molecular structure of 1 furnishes homoallylic amine 2 and satisfies the structural prerequisite for an aza-Prins transform.4 Thus, disconnection of the bond between C-2 and C-3 affords intermediate 3 as a viable precursor. In the forward sense, a cation ji-type cyclization, or aza-Prins reaction, could achieve the formation of the C2-C3 bond and complete the assembly of the complex pentacyclic skeleton of the target molecule (1). Reduction of the residual n bond in 2, hydro-genolysis of the benzyl ether, and adjustment of the oxidation state at the side-chain terminus would then complete the synthesis of 1. 

The group A may be regarded as a structural equivalent for the carbonyl group B, since introduction of A into a molecule is actually an indirect means of introducing B. It is convenient to have a word for units within molecules such a word is synthon, introduced by Corey, which is defined as a structural unit within a molecule that can be formed and/or assembled by known or conceivable synthetic operations. There are many other synthons equivalent to A and B, for example, C (by Reactions 16-23 and 19-3) and D (by Reactions 10-2 and 16-22). ... 

A unique feature of such DNA-directed self-assemblies is their site-selective immobilization, which makes it possible to construct well-defined nanostructures. On the other hand, the possibility of the introduction of a vast number of substitutes (like peptidic sequences, nucleoproteins, of hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains) to an adamantane core (adamantyl) makes such a process capable of designing steric colloidal and supramolecular conformations by setting hydrophobic/hydrophilic and other interactions. In addition, the rigidity of the adamantane structure can provide strength and rigidity to such self-assemblies [150]. 

The introduction of new synthetic techniques has led to the discoveries of many new electronic materials with improved properties [20-22]. However, similar progress has not been forthcoming in the area of heterogeneous catalysis, despite the accumulation of considerable information regarding structure-reactivity correlations for such catalysts [14-19]. The synthetic challenge in this area stems from the complex and metastable nature of the most desirable catalytic structures. Thus, in order to minimize phase separation and destruction of the most efficient catalytic centers, low-temperature methods and complicated synthetic procedures are often required [1-4]. Similar challenges are faced in many other aspects of materials research and, in general, more practical synthetic methods are required to achieve controlled, facile assembly of complex nanostructured materials [5-11].

The next three chapters (Chapters 9-11) focus on the deposition of nano-structured or microstructured films and entities. Porous oxide thin films are, for example, of great interest due to potential application of these films as low-K dielectrics and in sensors, selective membranes, and photovoltaic applications. One of the key challenges in this area is the problem of controlling, ordering, and combining pore structure over different length scales. Chapter 9 provides an introduction and discussion of evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA), a method that combines sol-gel synthesis with self-assembly and phase separation to produce films with a tailored pore structure. Chapter 10 describes how nanomaterials can be used as soluble precursors for the preparation of extended...
