Abstract

A monofunctionalised pillar[5]arene derivative carrying a viologen side chain which exhibits self-complexation in dilute dichloromethane solutions forms supramolecular daisy chain polymers and eventually organogels as its concentration is increased three-fold over the range from 0.1 to 100 mM.
