Construction of a photo-responsive supra-amphiphile based on a tetracationic cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) and an azobenzene-containing guest in water.
A photo-responsive host-guest molecular recognition between a tetracation cyclophane cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) host and an azobenzene-containing guest was constructed. Based on this novel recognition, a supra-amphiphile was constructed and the photo-responsive self-assembly behaviors were investigated.
