Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Stable aggregates of a new hydrogen‐bond mediated porphyrin‐perylenebisimide (PBI) bola‐type supra‐amphiphile have been synthesized by lyophilization of solutions of both single molecules in THF/water mixtures, followed by redispersion in pure water. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy verifies the spherical morphology.
