Naphthalene-diimide (NDI)-containing nanocylinders were formed by supramolecular self-assembly in water through cooperative hydrogen bonds between bis(urea) units, reinforced by hydrophobic and aromatic-stacking interactions. The nanocylinders, decorated with poly(ethylene oxide) arms ensuring their solubility in water, exhibit a huge aspect ratio (diameter 13 nm, length 300 nm) and are extremely stable.
