Pillar[10]arene-based host–guest complexation promoted self-assembly: from nanoparticles to uniform giant vesicles†
Abstract
A novel host–guest recognition motif between a water-soluble pillar[10]arene and pyrene derivative was established and applied in the fabrication of a pH-responsive supra-amphiphile. Furthermore, the host–guest complexation induced morphology change of the self-assembly was investigated.
