Strong fluorescence emission induced by supramolecular assembly and gelation: luminescent organogel from nonemissive oxadiazole-based benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide gelator

Abstract

Supramolecular aggregation of a novel nonfluorescent gelator yields highly luminescent organogels in aprotic organic solvents through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which is a key motif for both self-assembly and photophysical process control.
