Supramolecular hydrogelation via host-guest anion recognition: Lamellar hydrogel materials for the release of cationic cargo
Z Kokan, M Dušková-Smrčková, V Šindelář - Chem, 2021 - cell.com
Hydrogelation triggered by host-guest anion recognition is difficult to achieve due to the
challenging anion recognition in water and de novo gelator design. Herein, we report such a …
