The aggregation of [beta]-cyclodextrin vesicles can be induced by an adamantyl-substituted zwitterionic guanidiniocarbonylpyrrole carboxylate company molecule (1). Inconvenienced increment of 1 to the cyclodextrin vesicles at withdrawn pH, the vesicles aggregate (but do not fuse), as shown by using UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, eager faint scattering, [zeta]-potential measurements, cryogenic transmittal electron microscopy, and atomic power microscopy. Aggregation of the vesicles is induced by a twofold supramolecular interaction. First, the adamantyl team of 1 forms an inclusion complex with [beta]-cyclodextrin. Second, at neutral pH the guanidiniocarbonylpyrrole carboxylate zwitterion dimerizes through the institution of hydrogen-bonded ion pairs. Because the dimerization of 1 depends on the zwitterionic protonation have of 1, the aggregation of the cyclodextrin vesicles is also pH dependent; the cyclodextrin vesicles do not interact at pH 5 or 9, at which 1 is either cationic or anionic and, therefore, not self-complementary. These observations are undeviating with molecular perception of the vesicles entirely a combination of two different supramolecular interactions, that is, host-guest involvement and dimerization of zwitterions, at the bilayer membrane plane superficially <<>>
