Three types of single‐chain hydrocarbon fluorocarbon hybrid bolaamphiphiles were synthesized. They readily formed different kinds of organized supramolecular assemblies, including vesicles, tapes, and micellar fibers, in aqueous solution. The aggregates morphology was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after negative staining. The superstructures of these aggregates seemed to be determined by the geometry and the head group's properties of the corresponding amphiphiles.
