Self-assembly of chiral foldamers with alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic side chains into acid-sensitive and solvent-exchangeable vesicular particles

Abstract

Here we reported that chiral foldamers with alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic side chains were able to self-assemble into vesicular particles independent of solvent polarity. These particles were well dispersed in aliphatic hydrocarbon, alcohol or water for at least one month at room temperature.
