Development of a New Dual Polarity and Viscosity Probe Based on the Foldamer Concept

Abstract

Small molecular probes able to act as sensors are of enormous interest thanks to their multiple applications. Here, we report on the development of a novel supramolecular dual viscosity and polarity probe based on the foldamer concept, which increases the resolution limits of traditional probes at low viscosity values (0-4 mPa·s). The applicability of this new probe has been tested with a supramolecular organogel.
