    Supramolecular synthons in noncovalent synthesis of a class of gelators derived from simple organic salts: Instant gelation of organic fluids at room temperature via in situ synthesis of the gelators
    (2009) Das, U.K.; Trivedi, D.R.; Adarsh, N.N.; Dastidar, P.
    (Chemical Equation Presented) The supramolecular synthon approach has been employed to synthesize noncovalently a series of low molecular mass organic gelators (LMOGs) derived from benzylammonium salts of variously substituted benzoic acids. The majority of the salts (75%) prepared showed interesting gelation properties. Instant gelation of an organic fluid, namely methyl salicylate, was achieved at room temperature by using most of the gelator salts by in situ synthesis of the gelators. Table top rheology and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the gels. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed the presence of both 1D and 2D supramolecular synthons. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) studies indicated the presence of various crystalline phases in the fibers of the xerogels. By using these data, a structure-property correlation has been attempted and the working hypothesis for designing the gelator has been reinforced. © 2009 American Chemical Society.

    Dual colorimetric receptor with logic gate operations: Anion induced solvatochromism
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014) Kigga, M.; Swathi, N.; Manjunatha, J.R.; Das, U.K.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.; Trivedi, D.R.
    A receptor R1 was designed and synthesised for colorimetric detection of F- ions as well as Cu2+ ions via intramolecular charge transfer mechanism. Upon addition of F- ions in dry DMSO, the color of the receptor R1 changed from pale yellow to blue. The receptor showed a unique property of solvatochromism by displaying different coloration with different solvents only in the presence of F- ions, which were applied to determine the percentage composition of binary solvent mixtures. The receptor R1 was able to detect Cu2+ ions colorimetrically where it exhibited a color change from pale yellow to orange-red. In addition, the receptor was subjected to molecular logic gate applications, wherein it showed 'ON-OFF' switching operations. © 2014 The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
