The self-assembly behavior of the naturally occurring steroidal bile compounds cholic, deoxycholic, ursodeoxycholic, and lithocholic acid was studied by combining atomic force microscopy (AFM), polarized optical microscopy (POM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis), circular dichroism (CD), and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). Molecular solutions of these mono-, di-, and trihydroxyl substituted bile acids spontaneously evolved into supramolecular aggregates upon the incremental addition of H2O as a poor solvent. Highly crystalline nanostructured multilayered assemblies were formed, which revealed a very rich polymorphism of micro- and macro-structures depending on the chemical structure of the bile acid and the properties of the cosolvent (EtOH or DMSO) used. In particular, AFM allowed resolving the crystalline structure to an unprecedented level. It was thus possible to establish that bile acids associate into H-bonded chiral dialer building blocks, which organize in 2D layers of nanostructured lamellar surface topologies with unique facial amphiphilicity. The detailed understanding of the hierarchical organization in bile acid assemblies may contribute to develop strategies to design bioinspired materials with tailor-made nanostructured surface topologies.
