Tubular stacking of water-soluble toroids triggered by guest encapsulation.
Coassembly of laterally grafted rod amphiphiles gives rise to the formation of water-soluble toroids with a hydrophobic interior. The toroids stack on top of each other to form a tubular container upon triggering by fullerene encapsulation.
