Abstract

A redox-responsive chiral supramolecular gel based on coumarin-tailed cholesterol linked with disulfide was reported. It was found that the gelation was primarily driven by the combination of hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking, and van der Waals forces. Moreover, its assembled morphology could be regulated from nanofibers to micro flowers and ribbons by water on account of its amphiphilic nature.
