Bipolar phospholipids (bolalipids) represent an exciting class of amphiphilic molecules as they self-assemble in water to distinct structures of nanoscopic dimensions. Reported here are structural details of helical nanofibers, composed of achiral, symmetrical single-chain bolalipids with phosphocholine headgroups. These nanofibers are used as template for the fixation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) without prior functionalization. This realization of a metal array on bolalipid nanofibers is one of the rare examples of one-dimensional AuNP arrangements in solution. The loading and the heat of binding of AuNPs are determined applying transmission electron microscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry.
