Product Description: Benzo-18-crown-6-ether (B18C6) is an organic compound that can be used to prepare stable microcapsule responsive layers for further assembly into bilayer microcapsules. For example, 18-Crown-6-ether is used to prepare the response layer and is coated with a G-quadruplex cross-linked hydrogel layer stabilized by K+; when Mg2+ ions are present, 18-Crown-6-ether and K+ ions can respectively Dissociates and locks with the G-quadruplex cross-linked layer, thereby achieving switchable controlled release of the load[1].
Formula: C16H24O6
