We synthesized a spiropyran–cholesterol conjugate (1) and studied its gelation and photochromic properties. The compound 1, when dissolved in carbon disulfide (CS2), forms a homogeneous gel at −40 °C due to the van der Waals interaction between the cholesterol moieties. UV or visible light irradiation of the CS2 sol o…
