A 5-aminoisophthalic acid low molecular weight gelator based novel semiconducting supramolecular Zn(ii)-metallogel: unlocking an efficient Schottky barrier diode for microelectronics

“…Supramolecular gel synthesis encompasses a fascinating array of solvents that play a pivotal role in the creation of these intricate structures. From common solvents such as water, 10 acetonitrile, 11 ethanol, 12 and methanol 13 to more specialized ones such as dichloromethane, 14 deuterated dichloromethane, 15 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 16 acetone, 17 carbon tetrachloride, 18 DMF, 19 tetrahydrofuran, 20 dimethyl sulfoxide, 21 and toluene, 22 each solvent brings its unique properties to the process. By interacting with organic and/or inorganic gelators, these solvents facilitate the formation of three-dimensional networks that define the gel's characteristics.…”
