Redox-responsive thermal sensitivity based on a selenium-containing small molecule.
Thermoresponsive spherical assemblies formed by a selenium-containing small molecule exhibit lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior in aqueous solution, which can be reversibly switched by mild redox treatment.
