Abstract:
Sensitive gels: the amphiphilic features of phosphole-lipids lead to intriguing self-assembly properties and the formation of highly fluorescent organogels. Moreover, the dynamic structural features of the system make it possible to amplify the mechanochromic emission shifts (100 nm) in a donor-acceptor system through thermally and mechanically responsive fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).
