Abstract:
A new family of coumarin-based supramolecular hydrogelators without conventional gelating motifs have been designed and synthesized in a one-step reaction. Fluorescent nanofibers self-assembled from these hydrogelators could be used as potential scaffolds for better visualization of the interaction between substrates and cells.
