Arylazopyrazole as a photo-switch for controllable self-assembly of pillar[6]arene-based supramolecular amphiphiles

Abstract

A photo-responsive host–guest molecular recognition between a cationic pillar[6]arene host and an arylazopyrazole derived guest was established. Based on this novel recognition motif, a photo-controllable supra-amphiphile was constructed. The spontaneous aggregation can be reversibly controlled by irradiation with UV (365 nm) and green light (520 nm), leading to a switch between spherical nanoparticles and vesicle-like aggregates.
