This paper describes 2‐(2‐(dioctylamino)‐2‐oxoethyl‐amino)‐2‐oxoethoxyl (DOAOE)‐tuned self‐assembly of vesicles from a 2,6‐di(7‐benzamidy)‐quinolin‐2‐yl)pyridine derivative. Scanning electron (SEM), transmission electron (TEM) and optical microscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies reveal that the molecule self‐assembles into vesicular structures in methanol. The influence of the transition metal ions and trifluoroacetic acid on the formation of the vesicles was investigated. The results illustrate that DOAOE is robust in promoting the formation of vesicles for aromatic systems in polar medium.
