Despite the central importance of aqueous amphiphile assemblies in science and industry, the size and shape of these nano-objects is often difficult to control with accuracy owing to the non-directional nature of the hydrophobic interactions that sustain them. Here, using a bioinspired strategy that consists of programming an amphiphile with shielded directional Watson–Crick hydrogen-bonding functions, its self-assembly in water was guided toward a novel family of chiral micelle nanotubes with partially filled lipophilic pores of about 2 nm in diameter. Moreover, these tailored nanotubes are successfully demonstrated to extract and host molecules that are complementary in size and chemical affinity.

Water-soluble cavitand receptors have been obtained by the introduction of ionizable groups (5, 21-28, 39) and neutral hydrophilic tetraethylene glycol based dendritic wedges (19, 20). The synthesis of these cavitands and a study of their water solubiliti

Two novel chiral (bola)amphiphilic oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)s (OPVs) have been synthesised and fully characterised. Decoration of the hydrophobic OPV backbone with a hydrophilic tris[tetra(ethylene oxide)]benzene wedge on one side and a hydrophobic tris(
