Abstract

Supramolecular complexes consisting of anionic polyoxometalate (POM) and chiral, cationic lipids are newly developed. They give nanofibers, helical ribbons, and nanotapes in organic media depending on the chemical structure of lipid molecules. Lipid ammonium groups exert significant influence on their photoreduction characteristics.
