Photocontrolled reversible conversion of a lamellar supramolecular assembly based on cucurbiturils and a naphthalenediimide derivative†
Abstract
Lamellar and helical supramolecular assemblies were constructed using cucurbiturils and a naphthalenediimide derivative. More interestingly, the formation of the lamellar assembly could be reversibly photocontrolled via competitive binding with α-cyclodextrin and water-soluble azobenzene.
