A chemodosimetric gelation system showing fluorescence and sol-to-gel transition for fluoride anions in aqueous media

Abstract

We developed a chemodosimetric gelation system which turns into a fluorescent gel in the presence of fluoride anions in aqueous media. The selective cleavage of a silyl ether protecting group on the gelator by a fluoride anion gives rise to an optical change (fluorescence turn-on) and a sol-to-gel transition in aqueous media.
