Self-inclusion of proline-functionalised calix[4]arene leads to hydrogelation
Solution-phase and solid-state structural studies indicate that the remarkable hydrogelation properties of a proline-functionalised calix[4]arene emerge as a result of extended helical structures formed via inclusion of a proline moiety in a neighbouring calixarene cavity.
