contents Self‐Assembly Behavior of Monodisperse PEG Amphiphiles Bearing Hydrophobic Units with Distinct Molecular Shapes in Water Ai Kohata Rei Hamaguchi Kazushi Kinbara ChemistryOpen The shape of hydrophobic units on the self‐assembly of amphiphiles in pure water remains underexplored. In this work, three types of octaethylene glycol (OEG)–appended amphiphiles bearing propeller‐shaped, twisted, and planar hydrophobic units were synthesized. They formed different types of assemblies, such as liquid droplets, nanosheets, and supramolecular oligomers, suggesting the importance of molecular shape in designing the self‐assembly of amphiphiles in water. 10.1002/open.70214 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
