Most supramolecular self-assembly processes are thermodynamically driven. In contrast, natural systems predominantly operate far from equilibrium driven by the consumption of a fuel, allowing for adaptivity, emergent behaviour, and the ability to perform work. Implementing such out-of-equilibrium processes into synthetic systems will lead to greater complexity and function in man-made materials. Investigation of these man-made out-of-equilibrium systems might provide a better understanding of the kinetic and thermodynamic constraints in living systems. We aim to design and investigate metallo-supramolecular systems driven by chemical, electrochemical, and photochemical fuels, with the final goal of furthering our understanding of out-of-equilibrium systems and emergent behaviour.
