The cholesterol appended hydroxybenzaldehyde derived Schiff bases1–4have been designed and synthesized. They are suitable for the naked-eye detection of metal ions such as Hg2+and Ag+using sol–gel methodology involving either rupturing or maintaining the imine bonds.

Aim: Design and synthesis of new molecules capable of forming self-assembled gels are indispensable to harvest new functional materials. Supramolecular gels have potential in many areas particularly in biology and materials chemistry. Of the different types of applications, visual sensing of biologically relevant ionic analytes is a fairly recent trend. Here we describe naked eye detection of fluoride ions involving sol-gel methodology. Methods: To execute this, cholesterol substituted pyridinium salts 1-4 have been designed and synthesized of which compounds 3 and 4 served as potential gelators for the naked eye detection of F- ions in DMSO and DMSO-H2O (1:1, v/v) respectively. Results: Gelation study reveals that not only the aromatic surface is crucial for the self-aggregation of molecules via π-π stacking interactions, but also polarity, rigidity and conformational flexibility of the molecules that govern the intermolecular association of gelators are important. Conclusion: Moreover, incorporation of fluorophores (naphthalene) as aromatic surface in the molecular designs, promotes the gelator molecules to execute sensing behavior for F- with high degree of sensitivity in solution phase also.
