Nanofibers of asymmetrically substituted bisphenazine through organogelation and their acid sensing propertiesf

摘要

This paper reports the formation of an organogel of an asymmetric bisphenazine through the growth of one-dimensional nanofibers via a coopertive interplay of π-π interaction, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals interaction and the colorimetric acid sensing property of the nanofibers. Organogels, a result of trapping solvent in a three-dimensional (3-D) network of one-dimensionally (1-D) grown nanofibers of low molecular weight organogelators (LMOGs), have shown a significant advancement in recent years.
