Here, we report a hydroxamic acid-functionalised 1,3:2,4-dibenzylidenesorbitol hydrogelator (DBS-CONHOH), with a pKa value of 9.2 meaning that, unlike analogous carboxylic acid LMWGs, it forms stable gels at physiological pH. Perhaps surprisingly, given the favourable pH profile, low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs)…

Plastics have long been designed as durable materials with limited consideration of their fate after use. In contrast, a polymer system that enables end-of-life plastics to no longer to be discarded but instead to be transformed into fertilizers that actively benefit ecosystems, would be very desirable indeed. Such a…
