Supramolecular self-assemblies have been attracting much interest due to construction of novel nanomaterials of functional coordination compounds. In this study, I focus on the self-assembly of discrete metal complexes with supramolecular amphiphiles such as lipids and block copolypeptides. Discrete metal complexes with supramolecular amphiphiles displayed self-assembly in solution. Formation of a bilayer structure caused morphological evolution from microtapes to nanoarchitecture (tubes, ellipse, and so on). Furthermore, the study leads not only to morphological transformation of self-assembled structures, but also to the intermolecular interaction such as hypochromic effect and luminescence. The concept of amphiphile packaging could be expanded of other useful coordination compounds and should allow us to further develop the nanochemistry of coordination materials. Ref. K.
