It all gels well : Amphiphilic donor–acceptor‐substituted butadienes undergo spontaneous concentration‐dependent self‐assembly into highly fluorescent vesicles and gels. The vesicles and gels exhibit light‐induced destruction and self‐repair as a result of the photochromic nature of the butadiene chromophore.
