Abstract:
An anthrylidene derivative of arjunolic acid could immobilize varieties of organic solvents at low concentrations in the presence of an electron-deficient guest. Gelation in the presence of picric acid in organic solvents could be observed visually with concomitant color change. Electron micrographs of the xerogels showed a fibrous structure having fibers of submicron diameters. [structure: see text].
