• building blocks for the ternary electrostatic self-assembly, forming well-defined supramolecular assemblies with tunable sizes of 50 to 500 nm. Due to the network of possible chemical reactions for the anthocyanidin and the excited-state dissociation of the photoacid upon irradiation, different ways to

• particles, and information on the molecular structure was gained by UV–vis spectroscopy. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) provided information on the thermodynamics and interaction forces in the supramolecular assembly formation. Keywords: electrostatic self-assembly; hydroxyflavylium

• not rely on specific binding motifs. Here, electrostatic self-assembly was shown to yield a variety of supramolecular nanostructures [4][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. We have built the nanoscale assemblies from polyelectrolytes and multiply oppositely charged molecules based on electrostatic

• chains of proteins [6], to size control of the electrostatic self assembly of nanoparticles [7]. Also a pH-controlled release of many cyclodextrins in long stacks on polymers, such as polyrotaxanes, combined with mesoporous silica particles was observed [8]. Complex formation with solvent molecules can
