Abstract
Herein, we show that a straightforward desymmetrisation of a bolaamphiphilic chromophore can tune aromatic interactions and exciton coupling upon self-assembly. As a result, multiple assembled states become accesible offering a facile approach to induce pathway complexity in aqueous media.
