A series of lipidated molecules l-A1–l-A5 containing two serine units linked by a variety of aromatic spacers were designed and synthesized. Compound l-A1 containing a m -xylylene unit self-assembled into intertwined twisted-ribbons, while compound l-A2 containing a p -xylylene unit formed nano-size...
