Molecular structures can perform diverse functions . Tailored bolaamphiphiles were used to prepare vesicles containing redox‐active centers or (chiral) binding sites for guests, as well as aggregates. In addition, monomeric and polymeric bolaamphiphiles can disrupt membranes. RNA‐based bolaamphiphiles of this type may also find application in biochemistry as antisense agents.
