We have successfully synthesized a series of monodispersed chain-like giant molecules with precisely controlled macromolecular composition and sequence based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles using an orthogonal "click" strategy. Their nonspherical supramolecular structures, such as lamellae, double gyroids, and hexagonal packed cylinders, are mainly determined by the composition (namely, the number of incorporated amphiphilic nanoparticles). In addition, by precisely alternating the sequence of arranged nanoparticles in the giant molecules with identical chemical compositions, the domain sizes of their supramolecular structures could be fine-tuned. This is attributed to the macromolecular conformational differences caused by collective hydrogen bonding interactions in each set of sequence isomeric giant molecules. This work has demonstrated multilevel manipulation of supramolecular structures of giant molecules: coarse tuning by composition and fine-tuning by sequence.
