We experimentally demonstrated that the AYFFF self-assemblies adsorbed with various monovalent cations (Na+, K+, and Li+) show unexpectedly super strong paramagnetism. The key to the super strong paramagnetism lies in the hydrated cation-π interactions between the monovalent cations and the aromatic rings in the AYFFF assemblies, which endows the AYFFF-cations complex with magnetic moments.
