Bio-Inspired Phosphole-Lipids: From Highly Fluorescent Organogels to Mechanically Responsive FRET

Sensitive gels: The amphiphilic features of phosphole‐lipids lead to intriguing self‐assembly properties and the formation of highly fluorescent organogels. Moreover, the dynamic structural features of the system make it possible to amplify the mechanochromic emission shifts (100 nm) in a donor–acce...

Description
Summary:Sensitive gels: The amphiphilic features of phosphole‐lipids lead to intriguing self‐assembly properties and the formation of highly fluorescent organogels. Moreover, the dynamic structural features of the system make it possible to amplify the mechanochromic emission shifts (100 nm) in a donor–acceptor system through thermally and mechanically responsive fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).
