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.
