Water-supported organized structures based on wedge-shaped amphiphilic derivatives of dipyrrolyldiketone boron complexes

Abstract

Wedge-shaped amphiphilic derivatives of 1,3-dipyrrolyl-1,3-propanedione boron complexes, with one or no aliphatic chains attached at one aryl moiety and three hydrophilic chains at the other, exhibited formation of assembled structures in aqueous solutions. UV/vis, fluorescence and DLS analyses suggested that the wedge-shaped amphiphiles exist in assembled modes in the solution state, and TEM measurements revealed that a balance of hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties in the amphiphiles is crucial for the formation of organized structures in aqueous solutions as evidenced by the formation of spherical and cylindrical micelles.
