Amphiphilic block copolypeptides of polyethylene glycol-b-poly(L-glutamic acid) (PEG-b-PGlu) were synthesized to self-assemble with 4-methyl-4-aza[4]helicene onium ion (Me[4]H) in water through charge-conjugation. The morphology of the assemblies was studied by varying PGlu block length, the molar ratio of Glu unit/Me[4]H and pH value. It was found that when rigid-flexible block copolymers were assembled together with small molecules which had rigid, large size and inductive effect, they would follow a completely different law from the charge-conjugated assembly of flexible macromolecules. The self-assemblies were controlled by the π-π stacking of helicene, together with the volume fraction of the hydrophobic parts and the rigidity of PGlu segments. These effects restricted each other in the assembly process. When π-π stacking was dominant, assembly morphologies with pointer-like and strip-like planar structures were obtained.

Key words: charge-conjugated self-assembly, amphiphilic block copolymer, helicene
