Selective catechol-triggered supramolecular gel disassembly

Abstract

Supramolecular gels formed by an isonicotinic acid derivative in toluene are selectively disassembled in the presence of catechol. The results represent a unique example of molecular recognition associated to gel rupture which is of interest, for example, in controlled drug release applications.
