Abstract A photo-responsive host–guest molecular recognition between a cucurbit[7]uril host and an azobenzene-containing guest was investigated. Based on this recognition motif, a photo-responsive supra-amphiphile was constructed. This supra-amphiphile can self-assemble into vesicles in water, which can be destroyed by UV irradiation. Depending on this photo-responsive assembly, its application in controlled release was further performed.
