Supramolecular Gels: Functions and Uses

In recent years there has been immense interest in studying gels derived from low molecular mass gelators (supramolecular, or simply molecular gels). The motivation for this is not only to understand the fundamental aggregate structures in the gels at different length scales, but also to explore their potential for futuristic technological applications. Gels have been made sensitive to external stimuli like light and chemical entities by incorporating a spectroscopically active or a receptor unit as part of the gelator molecule. This makes them suitable for applications such as sensing and actuating. The diversity of gel structural architectures has allowed them to be utilized as templates to prepare novel inorganic superstructures for possible applications in catalysis and separation. Gels derived from liquid crystals (anisotropy gels) that can act as dynamically functional materials have been prepared, for example, for (re-writable) information recording. Supramolecular gels can be important in controlled release applications, in oil recovery, for gelling cryogenic fuels etc. They can also serve as media for a range of applications. This tutorial review highlights some of the instructive work done by various groups to develop smart and functional gels, and covers a wide spectrum of scientific interest ranging from medicine to materials science.

“…[126][127][128] Commonly used organogelators include carbohydrate derivatives, [129] amphiphilic molecules, [130] substituted cyclohexane, [131] and cholesterol derivatives. [132] Usually, long alkyl chains or steroidal groups are incorporated into most gelator molecular structures to achieve effective gelation, although these structural elements are normally inactive and undesirable for the optoelectronic properties.…”

Low‐Dimensional Nanomaterials Based on Small Organic Molecules: Preparation and Optoelectronic Properties

This article presents a comprehensive review of recent progress of research dedicated to low‐dimensional nanomaterials constructed from functional low‐molecular‐weight organic compounds, whose optoelectronic properties are fundamentally different from those of their inorganic counterparts. After introducing the development of inorganic and organic macromolecular nanomaterials, we begin with a general review of the construction strategies for achieving both zero‐dimensional (0D) and one‐dimensional (1D) nanostructures from small organic functional molecules. We then provide an overview of the unique optoelectronic properties induced by molecular aggregation in the nanostructures. Special emphasis is put on the luminescent properties that are different from those of the corresponding bulk materials, such as aggregation‐induced enhanced emission, fluorescence narrowing, multicolor emission, and tunable and switchable emissions from doped nanostructures. We conclude with a summary and our personal view of the direction of future development of organic opto‐functional nanomaterials and devices.
