The SiO2-CaCl2 hybrid porous materials were prepared by the sol-gel method. This process was conducted by the hydrolysis and condensation of Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) by replacement of ethanol from alcogel and drying at the ambient temperature to obtain xerogel structure. The alcogel samples were synthesized from TEOS, EtOH, H2O, HCl, NH4OH and CaCl2, while the total molar ratio of the co...

In this study, we describe the synthesis of a cholesterol-linked cyanostilobazole salt dye and tuning its luminescence by physical stimuli such as electricity grinding. The dyes exhibited liquid-crystalline properties at temperatures above 170 °C. Some solutions were transformed into orange luminescent gels upon addition poor solvents. When solvent was evaporated, resulting solid xerogel mechan...
