An amphiphilic macrocycle based on pillar[5]arene with polar lysine head groups spontaneously self-assembles into a bimolecular micelle in water. This self-assembled structure was characterized by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), field flow fluctuation coupled with multi-angle light scattering (FFF-MALS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The self-assembly of amphiphilic pillar[5]arene into dimeric spherical micelles represents a new molecular architecture for micelle formation. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

The adhesion of herbicide droplets on leaf surfaces plays an important role in the herbicide's adsorption by crops. How to control the adhesive binding which occurs through dynamic self-assembly between the macroscopic droplet and the surface is a challenging task. We introduce a host onto surfaces that controls the binding of guests in the paraquat droplets. The pillar[5]arene-functional surface showed the selective binding of paraquat droplets via the host–guest interaction. The work is promising for improving the efficiency of herbicides.
