A stable ternary inclusion complex comprising a host, an electron donor, and an electron acceptor with a long alkyl tail (see schematic representation) triggers the spontaneous formation of giant vesicles (see TEM image). The ternary complex behaves as a supramolecular amphiphile with a large polar head group and a single hydrophobic tail. Treatment of the complex with an oxidizing agent results in disruption of the vesicles.
