Self-organization of dendrons into supramolecular assemblies has been demonstrated in a various conditions. Recently, we presented that the amide dendrons can self-organize in various conditions to exhibit a multiplicity of architectures and functions. In particular, we reported that the transition of the self-organized structure from vesicles to rods and spherical micelles was triggered by the increase of the molecular weight of the hydrophilic PEG focal moiety.Therefore, we reasoned that the nature of the focal functionality of the amide dendrons could determine the supramolecular structure in aqueous phase.
