Abstract
Cholesterol appended pyridinium urea 1 acts as low molecular weight gelator in DMSO:H2O (1:1, v/v) showing distinct colour change in the presence of aqueous solution of KF as well as tetrabutylammonium fluoride and recognises F− specifically. In addition, this hydrogel is noted to detect aqueous solution of Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions over a series of other metal ions and exhibits good semi-conducting property.
