The herein presented 527 Da low-molecular-weight macrocyclic amphiphile was fabricated by utilizing the selenium-containing crown ether as a hydrophobic motif together with guanidinium group as the hydrophilic moiety. The resulting benzo[21]crown-7 based macrocyclic amphiphile readily forms a redox-responsive solid nanoparticles in water, which can further interconnect into wrinkled pattern on-surface, as well as exhibits as a nanozyme for catalyzing disulfid bond formation. The present work highlights the great potential of guanidinium-and selenium-containing crown ethers for the control of functional assemblies.展开更多

The adaptive behaviour of the macrocyclic bolaamphiphiles(transformations between C7SeBola and C7SeOBola) in response to redox environment was found to be a decisive factor.展开更多
