title: Supra-amphiphiles formed by complexation of azulene-based amphiphiles and pyrene in aqueous solution: from cylindrical micelles to disklike nanosheets.
abstract: We have fabricated supra-amphiphiles by charge-transfer complexation of azulene-based amphiphiles and pyrene in water, and the self-assembled nanostructures can reversibly change between cylindrical micelles and disklike nanosheets in response to interaction with guest molecules.
