Letizia Sambri, Luisa de Cola and coworkers investigated the hydrogelation of terpyridine derivatives, a rare class of low molecular weight gelators for which the gelation is promoted by ultrasound, and whose gel properties – such as emission – can be tuned by the addition of metals.
Ultrasound-promoted hydrogelation of terpyridine derivatives, Letizia Sambri, Fabio Cucinotta, Gabriele De Paoli, Stefano Stagni and Luisa De Cola, New. J. Chem., Advance article, DOI: 10.1039/C0NJ00391C
