Abstract

Cylinders and spheres can be formed by simple self-assembly of cationic dendrimers and oppositely charged small divalent organic ions in methanol (see graphic). The counterion not only controls the morphology of the nanosized assembly, but also provides functionality, such as fluorescence. The concept may lead to versatile functional supramolecular architectures.
