A Peptide Amphiphile Organogelator of Polar Organic Solvents
نویسندگان
چکیده
A peptide amphiphile is reported, that gelates a range of polar organic solvents including acetonitrile/water, N,N-dimethylformamide and acetone, in a process dictated by β-sheet interactions and facilitated by the presence of an alkyl chain. Similarities with previously reported peptide amphiphile hydrogelators indicate analogous underlying mechanisms of gelation and structure-property relationships, suggesting that peptide amphiphile organogel design may be predictably based on hydrogel precedents.

Towards racemizable chiral organogelators
A chiral organogelator has been synthesized that can be racemized and self-assembled in apolar solvents whilst at higher concentrations organogels are formed. Field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed the formation of bundle fibrils that are able to gelate the solvent. ¹H NMR studies showed hydrogen-bond interactions between the peptide head groups of neighbouring or...
متن کاملGelation-driven Dynamic Systemic Resolution: in situ Generation and Self-Selection of an Organogelator
An organogelator was produced and identified from a dynamic imine system, resolved and amplified by selective gelation. The formation of the organogel was monitored in situ by (1)H NMR, showing the existence of multiple reversible reactions operating simultaneously, and the redistribution of the involved species during gelation. The formed organogelator proved effective with a range of organic ...

Gels with the ability to immobilize a liquid phase are structures of three-dimensional network. These types of gels consist of two parts, gelling agent (network forming) and liquid solvent phase (hydrophilic or hydrophobic). However, depending on the polarity of the liquid immobilized within the networked structure, gels may be termed either as hydro gels (polar solvent-water) or organogels (or...

A new organogelator, benzyl (4-methyl-1-oxo-1-(2-hexadecanoylhydrazinyl)pentan-2-yl)carbamate (designated as Cbz-Leu-HdHz), was designed and synthesized, which could self-assemble in many organic solvents and form the thermally reversible physical supramolecular organogels. The gel-sol phase transition temperatures (TGS) were determined as a function of gelator concentration and the correspondi...
