The sonogel shows a remarkable thermostability, indicating that self-assembly is mediated by exceptionally robust non-covalent interactions. Model compounds indicate that the macrocyclic topology is essential for gelation to occur.Chemical communications (Cambridge, England)Ultrasound-induced gelation of a giant macrocycle.PMC6156880ERC-2012-AdG 320539-duplexEP/J008044/2Nunez-Villanueva DGomez Magenti JHunter CAJinks MAfalseUltrasound-induced gelation of a giant macrocycle.A 68-membered macrocycle undergoes ultrasound-induced supramolecular gelation in acetonitrile.
