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].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
