Self-assembly fluorescent vesicles were designed and prepared based on the supramolecular interaction of cyclodextrins and N-alkylamino-l-anthraquinone (n-AQ). As the guest molecules, n-AQs with alkyl lengths ranging from C0 to C18 were synthesised by the direct reaction of alkylamine with l-nitroanthraquinone in N, N-dimethylformamide. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light ...
