Abstract
Ellipsoids formed from a novel merocyanine-based amphiphile can be disassembled by irradiation of visible light. The thermal recovery of the self-assembly is significantly slower than that of the amphiphile. The delay between the two processes can be tuned between minutes and hours by the addition of differently charged co-surfactants.
