Figure 5.

Examples of hierarchical and orthogonal solution‐phase architectures exploiting the chaotropic effect as an assembly motif: a) assembly of an amphiphilic calixarene on dodecaborate‐stabilized gold nanoparticles and b) assembly of CB7 in the presence of an amphiphilic dodecaborate‐functionalized azobenzene. The red residue illustrates a superchaotropic unit as recognition site to the exterior surface of CB7 and the blue unit represents an auxiliary hydrophobic unit that shows a preferential affinity for inclusion complexation with CB7.
