Vapour diffusion hydrolysis of a self-assembled silylated organogel, the OG-HG transcription process: a new way to cast and handle fluorescent silsesquioxane.

A new method of hydrolysis-polycondensation of silsesquioxanes, the OG-HG (Organo Gel-Hybrid Gel or Organised Gel-Hydrolysed Gel) process allows the transcription of the supramolecular architecture of organogels to corresponding hybrid silsesquioxanes.
