Cation-responsive silver-selective organogel—exploiting silver–alkene interactions in the gel-phase

Abstract

We report a gelator that is responsive to Ag+ and Li+ cations but unresponsive to Na+ and K+, and demonstrate that silver–alkene interactions play a vital role in mediating the selective gel–sol response to Ag+.
