Nano‐objects are generated through 3D confined supramolecular assembly, followed by a sequential disintegration by rupturing the hydrogen bonding. The shape of the nano‐objects is tunable, ranging from nano‐disc, nano‐cup, to nano‐toroid. The nano‐objects are pH‐responsive. Functional materials for example inorganic or metal nanoparticles are easily complexed onto the external surface, to extend both composition and microstructure of the nano‐objects.
