title: Controlled self-assembly of squaraines to 1D supramolecular architectures with high molar absorptivity.
abstract: A tailor made squaraine dye upon binding with Ca2+ self-assembles to form a spherical micellar assembly that reorganises to thermodynamically stable 1D cylindrical rods with high molar absorptivity.
