Chemically-fueled chemical reaction networks (CRNs) are key in controlling dissipative self-assembly. Having catalysts gating fuel consumption for both the activation and deactivation chemistry of (assembly-prone) monomers catalytic activity with an external stimulus would provide better control over where, when, how long self-assembled structures can form. Here we achieve light two different that govern monomer assembly into supramolecular fibers, as well fiber disassembly. Activation proceeds via photoredox catalysis under visible light, whereas is achieved by organometallic relies on a photocaged pre-fuel activated ultraviolet light. Overall, show fibers be formed destroyed using
