Supramolecular G4 Eutectogels of Guanosine with Solvent-Induced Chiral Inversion and Excellent Electrochromic Activity

Supramolecular eutectogels, an emerging class of materials that have just developed very recently, offer a new opportunity for generating functional supramolecular gel materials in biocompatible anhydrous or low-water media. As the first example of supramolecular G4 eutectogels, complexes of natural guanosine and H(3)BO(3)exhibited excellent gelation capacity in choline chloride/alcohol deep eutectic solvents. The as-prepared supramolecular eutectogels displayed unexpected solvent-induced chiral inversion and significantly high ionic conductivity (up to 7.78 mS cm(-1)), as well as outstanding thixotropic/injectable properties, high thermal stability and excellent electrochromic activity. These features make these versatile supramolecular G4 eutectogels promising candidates for developing next-generation flexible electronics with low environmental impact.
