title: Manipulating assembly of cationic dipeptides using sulfonic azobenzenes.
abstract: Three sulfonic azobenzenes with tiny differences in the terminal were used to manipulate the assembly of cationic dipeptides (CDP); assemblies with diverse morphologies including urchin-like, flower-like and plate-like structures were formed.
