title: Cooperative complexation of amino acid derivatives to platinum acetylide-based bolaamphiphile.
abstract: A platinum(II) acetylide-based bolaamphiphile equipped with two peripheral B18C6 moieties has been successfully prepared, which demonstrates cooperative recognition behavior toward l-alanine ester salt in chloroform. In a polar methanol/chloroform (3/1, v/v) medium, the amino acid additives influence the aggregation of the bolaamphiphile significantly, leading to the morphological transition from nanospherical to disordered structures. The adaptive properties of the current host-guest binary system will benefit the development of stimuli-responsive supramolecular materials.
