Abstract
Size is an important factor for vesicles, which is essential for their application, particularly in nanomedicine and nanomaterials. Unlike polymer vesicles, whose size can be controlled by the hydrophobic/hydrophilic content or the chain length, the size of supramolecular vesicles mainly depends on the assembly of the supramolecular building blocks. Herein, we describe a novel method to manipulate the size of supramolecular vesicles by regulating the assembly of hydrogen-bonding aromatic hydrazone macrocycles with different pyridinium guests. The assembly of an aromatic hydrazone macrocycle with different mono-/bi-pyridinium guests is confirmed by 1H NMR, DOSY, MS, and TEM. This study offers a new strategy to manipulate the size of supramolecular vesicles, which might be of importance for the application of vesicles.
