A sulfonyl hydrazone cholesterol conjugate: gelation, anion interaction and its application in dye adsorption

New J. Chem., 2019, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C8NJ05613G, PaperAtanu Panja, Sumit Ghosh, Kumaresh Ghosh Cholesterol appended sulfonyl-hydrazone derivative1 was designed and synthesized as a supramolecular gelator for anionic sensing and dye adsorption. Gelator1 forms a strong gel in DMSO –H2O and the morphology of the xerogel shows a tiny rod-like fibrous network. The gel of1 shows a selective response toward CN− and F− ions causing gel-to-sol transformation. The gel of1 acts as an efficient matrix for adsorption and removal of anionic dyes such as erythrosine B and uranine from water.
