A bio-inspired, ATP-driven nucleation growth assembly is demonstrated using an amphiphilic naphthalene diimide (NDI) derivative appended with guanidinium receptors to promote specific salt-bridge type interaction with nucleotide phosphates. Detailed spectroscopic and microscopic probing revealed a pathway-dependent co-operative self-assembly to yield two-dimensional and scrolled nano-tubular bilayer assemblies under kinetic and thermodynamic conditions, respectively.
