Self-assembled organogels formed by monochain derivatives of ethylenediamine

Fabrication of Nanotubules and Microspheres from the Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Monochain Stearic Acid Derivatives

“…This is because the frequencies of the alkyl chain antisymmetric and symmetric stretching bands are very sensitive to the conformation of the hydrocarbon chain . The absorption bonds were observed at 2926 and 2853 cm −1 in the self-assembled microsphere, indicating the presence of an all-trans-zigzag form alkyl chain. , The eigenvalue of the carboxyl group also shifts from 1643 cm −1 of the powder to 1640 cm −1 of the microsphere. These results testify the existence of strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between OC and H−N as well as N−H and N−H bonding, which plays critical role in the formation of self-assembled nanobelt and highly ordered microsphere aggregate.…”

Bile acid alkylamide derivatives as low molecular weight organogelators: Systematic gelation studies and qualitative structural analysis of the systems

“…Alkyl amino ethylamides with variable straight alkyl chains have been investigated as gelators by Luo et al [68]. They concluded that a primary amino group and a secondary amide group along with an alkyl chain of an optimal length were all important components for the gelation process.…”

Two-component supramolecular organogels formed by maleic N-monoalkylamides and aliphatic amines

“…These result suggested that the gelation ability of 3 + 2 0 , 2 + 2 0 , 1 + 3 0 increased in turn. This may be related to hydrophile-lypophile balance of organogelator molecules [17,35,37]. Owning to endow with suitable alkyl chain length, 1 + 3 0 has good hydrophile-lypophile balance in toluene, leading to the best organogelator combination for toluene.…”
