Abstract

A diarylethene derivative with histamines as side chains was synthesized and the morphology of self-assembled supramolecular architecture can be tuned from nanofiber to nanosphere by photo irradiation. The theoretical calculation and model of the self-assembled nanostructure are presented to illuminate the possible self-assembly mechanism.
