Popis: A novel molecular recognition motif was built between a neutral water soluble pillar[5]arene and decyltrimethylammonium bromide in water. Its thermal-controlled complexation with G1 in water was investigated. Furthermore, based on this new thermal responsive host–guest recognition motif, we further constructed a supramolecular amphiphile between this pillar[5]arene and a trimethylammonium bromide derivative containing an azobenzene group at the other end. This supramolecular amphiphile showed triply-responsiveness, that is, thermal responsiveness of the host–guest complex, photo-responsiveness of the azobenzene group and chemical-responsiveness by adding β-CD.
