Triggering gel formation and luminescence through donor-acceptor interactions in a C3-symmetric tris(pyrene) system

摘要

Straightforward modulation of the gelation, absorption and luminescent properties of a tris(pyrene) organogelator containing a C3 symmetric benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide central unit functionalized by three 3,3u27-diamino-2,2u27-bipyridine fragments is achieved through donor-acceptor interactions in the presence of tetracyanoquinodimethane.
