Chemistry has created a wide range of ever more sophisticated molecules and materials and has developed a very powerful arsenal of procedures for constructing them from atoms linked by covalent bonds. Beyond the molecule, supramolecular chemistry offers unique opportunities directed towards the fabrication of new supramolecular structures and materials. These have dynamic characteristics mainly because their constituents are bonded by reversible interactions which are, in some cases, possible to manipulate in an external manner. In this context we are interested in the design, synthesis and characterization of new amphiphilic systems which morphology or function would be possible to manipulate in response to an external stimulus.
