Supramolecular polymerization induced self-assembly into micelle and vesicle via acid–base controlled formation of fluorescence responsive supramolecular hyperbranched polymers

Abstract

Two asymmetric conjugated monomers of AB₂-1 and AB₂-2 with both dibenzo-24-crown-8 and dibenzylamine groups can self-assemble to form micellar and vesicular aggregates under acidic conditions, during which supramolecular hyperbranched polymers form controllably via host–guest recognition between dibenzo-24-crown-8 and dibenzylammonium groups.
