Abstract

Abstract A new powerful class of low-molecular-weight amphiphilic compounds has been synthesized and their structure–property relationships with respect to their gelation ability of organic solvents have been investigated. These compounds are able to gel organic solvents over a broad range of polarity. Especially polar solvents such as valeronitrile and γ- butyrolactone can be gelled even at concentrations far below 1 wt%. It was found that the ...
