Supramolecular assembly can be used to construct a wide variety of ordered structures

by exploiting the cumulative effects of multiple noncovalent interactions. However,

the construction of anisotropic nanostructures remains subject to some limitations.

Here, we demonstrate the preparation of anisotropic fullerene-based nanostructures

by supramolecular differentiation, which is the programmed control of multiple

assembly strategies. We have carefully combined interfacial assembly and local phase

separation phenomena. Two fullerene derivatives, PhH andC12H, were together

formed into self-assembled anisotropic nanostructures by using this approach.

This technique is applicable for the construction of anisotropic nanostructures without

requiring complex molecular design or complicated methodology.
