Confined supramolecular nanostructures of mesogen-bearing amphiphilesElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: experimental details. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/cc/b2/b201444k/

Stable surface nanostructures with different morphology have been successfully constructed by modifying the chemical structure of synthetic amphiphiles; by introducing mesogenic groups into bolaform amphiphiles, stable spaghetti-like or stripe-like nanostructures can be obtained; it is believed that such a kind of surface structure could be used for templating synthesis and assembly.
