摘要:
A new family of potent aminoacid-type organogelators obtained via an easy and unexpensive way is described. We demonstrated that structural variations onto the side chains of the aminoacid derivatives allowed modulations of the gelation properties. The organogelators bearing a benzyl or an isopropyl group (compounds 1e, 2a, and 2c) are able to provide gelation of apolar solvents at very low concentration ( less than or equal to 0.2 wt%) and to form thermostable gels.
