Concentration matters : The self‐assembly of title compound 1 evolves from well‐defined ribbons to vesicles to baskets (see picture), upon simply decreasing the concentration of 1 in tetrahydrofuran. Electron microscopy revealed a unique self‐assembled structure: baskets are formed by curved and self‐wrapped nanometer‐thin ribbons. The self‐assembly of π‐conjugated molecule 1 enables to construct nano/micro structures with desired optoelectronic properties.
