Several modes of supramolecular assembly relying on non-covalent as well as dynamic covalent interactions were combined in a single-molecule. The supramolecular self-assembly of 1 can be controlled by three-stimuli, namely light, pH and addition of metal ions, both in organic and aqueous media. The multi-stimuli responsive nature of 1 was used successfully for controlled encapsulation and on demand release of hydrophobic molecules, such as dyes and drugs.
