Enhanced gelation property due to intra-molecular hydrogen bonding in a new series of bis(amino acid)-functionalized pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide organogelators
摘要:
A series of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide derivatives containing two alpha-amino acid pendant groups was prepared and characterized. Three of the synthesized compounds obtained from this series, all having aromatic amino acid side chains, were found to be excellent organo-gelators toward aromatic solvents (mgc similar to 10-20 mg/mL), alcoholic solvents (mgc similar to 4-15 mg/mL), and CCl4 ( mgc similar to 4-10 mg/mL). It was found that the intra-molecular hydrogen bonds between the pyridine dicarboxamide N-Hs and the pyridine N atom were the key structural elements for gel formation. This series of compounds represented one of the rare examples where both inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds were needed for effective gel formation. FTIR, H-1 NMR, and CD spectroscopy revealed that both hydrogen bonding and pi-pi aromatic stacking were the driving forces for gelation. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
