Abstract

We construct a simple-structured super gelator with multi-stimuli responsive properties, among which anion responsiveness follows the Hofmeister series in a non-aqueous system. Versatile applications such as being rheological and self-healing agents, waste water treatment, spilled oil recovery and flexible optical device manufacture are integrated into a single organogelator, which was rarely reported.
