The effect of alkali metal counterion (Na⁺, K⁺, Cs⁺) on hierarchical self-assembly of C₃-symmetric oligoamide supramolecules was studied by Synchrotron radiation X-ray small angle scattering and transmission electron microscope. The C₃-symmetric molecules with three-armed aromatic oligoamide and different alkali metal counterions are denoted as P₇(COONa)₃, P₇(COOK)₃ and P₇(COOCs)₃. The experimental results show that the C₃-symmetric molecules can self-assemble into tubular structures, which will further aggregate in aqueous solution to form a centered rectangular phase in P₇(COONa)₃, or a hexagonal phase in P₇(COOK)₃ and P₇(COOCs)₃. The centered rectangular phase formed by P₇(COONa)₃ has a higher degree of order and the adjacent tubular structures become closer compared with the hexagonal phase formed by P₇(COOK)₃ and P₇(COOCs)₃. Though the hexagonal phase formed by P₇(COOCs)₃ gives a higher degree of order than that formed by P₇(COOK)₃, they have the similar symmetry and comparable distances between adjacent tubular structures. Therefore, by changing the counterion from Na⁺ to K⁺ or Cs⁺, a phase transition from a centered rectangular phase to hexagonal phase can be achieved. In addition, the electron-density maps show that the fine structure of tubular aggregates will change slightly when the counterion changes from K⁺ to Cs⁺, which manifests the increase of the diameter of water channel in the tubular structures. The phase transition mentioned above may result from the different surface charge of tubular structures, as the adsorption capacity of counterions for the terminal carboxylate group in the C₃-symmetric oligoamide will decline when the conterion changes from Na⁺ to Cs⁺ due to the increasing ionic radius. This kind of hierarchical self-assembly of ordered superstructure constructed by C₃-symmetric oligoamide not only has the advantages of easy modification and structural stability, but also can be manipulated by simply changing the counterion, and thus has great application potential in drug delivery, tissue repair, etc.
