Phase-separated coacervates can enhance reaction kinetics and guide multilevel self-assembly, mimicking early cellular evolution. In this work, we introduce "reactive" complex that undergo chemically triggered self-immolative transformations, directing the self-assembly of products within their matrix. These self-assemblies then evolve to show life-like properties such as budding membrane formation. We find coacervate composition critically influences rates product distribution guides hierarchical self-assembly. This work showcases a versatile platform influence pathways for controlled supramolecular synthesis self-organization in confined spaces.
