Transfer request : A self‐assembled supramolecular charge‐transfer complex of 1‐(11‐oxo‐11‐pyren‐1‐ylmethoxy)undecyl)pyridinium bromide (PYR) and ethane‐1,2‐diyl bis(3,5‐dinitrobenzoate) (DNB) is shown to form vesicular aggregates in aqueous solution, in contrast to the tubular aggregates of pure PYR (see picture). A curvature‐dependent mechanism for this change is proposed.
