| Research Abstract |
We have developed a novel supramolecular system for the formation of discrete 1-D self-assembled architectures having dimensions in the sub-micrometer regime; it combines a conventional supramolecular strategy with a dynamic liquid-liquid interface provided by shrinking droplets. In this system, the organic droplets act not only as dynamic templates but also as compartmentalizing solutions for amphiphilic molecules, allowing several thousands of molecules to spontaneously self-assemble on the isolated droplets’ surfaces to form discrete 1-D architectures beyond molecular programs. In other words, the amphiphilic molecules program the sub-micrometer-sized droplets.
