Water‐Soluble Pillar[n]arene Mediated Supramolecular Self‐Assembly: Multi‐Dimensional Morphology Controlled by Host Size |
|
| Authors: | Yamin Liu Kejia Shi Da Ma |
| Abstract: | We report tunable supramolecular self‐assemblies formed by water‐soluble pillar[n]arenes ( WPn s, n=5–7) and bipyridinium‐azobenzene guests. Nanoscale or microscale morphology of self‐assemblies in water was controlled by the host size of WPn . Supramolecular self‐assemblies could undergo morphology conversion under irradiation with UV light. |
