Controllable hierarchical self-assembly of porphyrin-derived supra-amphiphiles

The supra-amphiphiles spontaneously assemble to well-defined nanostructures but control of shape and size of supramolecular nanostructures is still a great challenge. Here the authors demonstrate control over shape and size of self-assemblies by using the recognition motifs of an amphiphilic porphyr...
