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

In this NJC Letter, Janet Blümel and colleagues discuss the design of a linker scaffold that prevents the immobilized Rh catalyst from being deactivated by dimerization or contact with the support surface. Using a multipoint attachment approach, the authors show how the catalyst can be recycled for a record 30 times.
