Vapour diffusion hydrolysis of a self-assembled silylated organogel, the OG–HG transcription process: a new way to cast and handle fluorescent silsesquioxane

Abstract

A new method of hydrolysis–polycondensation of silsesquioxanes, the OG–HG (Organo Gel–Hybrid Gel or Organised Gel–Hydrolysed Gel) process allows the transcription of the supramolecular architecture of organogels to corresponding hybrid silsesquioxanes.
