V-shaped polyaromatic amphiphiles with phenanthrene or naphthalene rings spontaneously and quantitatively formed micelle-like nanocapsules in water at room temperature. In contrast to usual polyaromatic aggregates with weak fluorescent properties, the new capsules providing spherical polyaromatic shells with diameters of ∼2 nm show strong fluorescent emissions due to an aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) effect and moreover encapsulate a fluorescent coumarin dye to generate highly emissive host-guest composites.
