Abstract

Cholesterol-appended cyanostilbene was synthesized, which could self-assemble into vesicles accompanied by a aggregation-induced emission effect. Under UV light irradiation, the vesicles gradually merged together to form branched nanotubes. The self-assembly and disassembly processes could be utilized in the quantitative analysis of external stimulus, which were demonstrated by H2O2-selective sensing.
