Self-assemblies of cyclodextrin derivatives modified by ferrocene with multiple stimulus responsiveness

Soft Matter. 2017 Feb 22;13(8):1534-1538. doi: 10.1039/c7sm00017k.

Abstract

Two novel cyclodextrin derivatives were synthesized that could self-assemble into a supramolecular polymer and gel in different solvent environments. Importantly, the obtained self-assemblies, including vesicles, micro-fibers and gels, could respond to various external stimuli efficiently.
