Luminescent clustogelator : Hybrid gelators with a [Cu 4 I 4 ] cluster core functionalized by cholesteryl derivatives allow solvent gelation through the formation of a globular network (see figure). The resulting gels display thermochromic and rigidochromic luminescence properties, the latter being used to probe the dynamics of the gelation phenomenon.
