Graphical Abstract

Aromatische Micellen: Hydrophobe und Aren-Aren-Wechselwirkungen vermitteln die spontane Bildung micellartiger molekularer Kapseln mit großen aromatischen Schalen aus gebogenen Bisanthracen-Amphiphilen (siehe Bild). Die micellaren Kapseln können in Wasser Fluoreszenzfarbstoffe aufnehmen, und die resultierenden Nanokomposite zeigen starke Fluoreszenz aufgrund eines effizienten Energietransfers von der Schale zum verkapselten Gastmolekül.
