Sumit Ghosh, Palash Jana, Kumaresh Ghosh
Abstract
Napthalimide-linked pyridylazo derivatives <bold>1</bold> and <bold>2</bold> are designed and synthesized. While compound <bold>1</bold> acts as a gelator in DMF–H<sub>2</sub>O (1 : 1, v/v), compound <bold>2</bold> does not show gelation under the conditions. Compound <bold>1</bold> selectively senses CN<sup>–</sup> in sol-gel medium.
