Chiral self-assembly and water effect on a supramolecular organogel stable towards aqueous interfaces

Ultralight aerogels via supramolecular polymerization of a new chiral perfluoropyridine-based sulfonimidamide organogelator

“…1C). Previously, many organogelators based on small, chiral organic molecules have been studied, [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] but to the best of our knowledge, chiral sulfonimidamides have not previously been investigated as a scaffold for organogelators. Therefore, we set out to investigate the gelating properties, supramolecular structure, and functions of these sulfonimidamide compounds.…”

Gemini surfactant‐stabilized Pd nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic application in the reduction and reductive acetylation in the water solvent

“…The viscosity versus shear rate profile at 50 C confirmed the inverse correlation of gel viscosity to that of shear rate, suggesting viscous liquid nature and elastic solid nature at high and low shear rate, respectively (Figure 1c). [30][31][32] Interestingly, the best aqueous phase dispersion of L4 gel was observed and hence, it was characterized further to know the structure in detail. Its liquid-phase FTIR spectra showed corresponding symmetric C (sp 3 )-H stretching, C (sp 3 )-N stretching, symmetric C (sp 3 )-C (sp 3 ) stretching, and C (sp 3 )-C (sp 3 ) bending vibrational frequencies at 2,928-2,068, 1,642-1,470, 1,030-962, and 880-708 cm À1 , respectively.…”

Synthesis and Self-assembly of Novel Nanofeather-like Fluorescent Alkyloxy-Containing Diphenyl Ether Organogelators

“…Those supramolecular architectures can be generated in a variety of morphologies, such as nanofeathers, nanoribbons, nanosheets, nanorods, and nanofibers. 17 , 18 Self-assembly of organogelators has interesting research in many fields, such as catalysis, sensors, pollutant removal, drug self-delivery, and tissue engineering. The self-assembly processes are usually driven by various types of attraction forces such as physical bonding, chemical bond formation, phase transition, and/or cross-linking.…”

“…Self-assembled structures can introduce optoelectronic characteristics like enhancing emission and charge transfer. − A supramolecular organogel can be described as a soft matter consisting of a viscoelastic non-flowing fluid due to the existence of an organogelator capable of self-assembling into three-dimensional supramolecular architectures. Those supramolecular architectures can be generated in a variety of morphologies, such as nanofeathers, nanoribbons, nanosheets, nanorods, and nanofibers. , Self-assembly of organogelators has interesting research in many fields, such as catalysis, sensors, pollutant removal, drug self-delivery, and tissue engineering. The self-assembly processes are usually driven by various types of attraction forces such as physical bonding, chemical bond formation, phase transition, and/or cross-linking. − Recently, the distinctive capability of organic gelators to uphold solvents by non-covalent bond formation, like H-bonds, π-stacks, and van der Waals forces, has received considerable attention. − The organoelator molecular entities typically self-assemble into highly ordered macro-molecular architectures without exchanging into their dense structural form.…”
