The synthesis, hydrogelation, and aggregation-induced emission switching of the phenylenedivinylene bis-N-octyl pyridinium salt is described. Hydrogelation occurs as a consequence of π-stacking, van der Waals, and electrostatic interactions that lead to a high gel melting temperature and significant mechanical propert…
