USAXS studies of monosaccharide gels. I. Dependence of the glucofuranose-based gel structure on the gelator concentration

USAXS studies of monosaccharide gels. II. The common features of structural changes

“…A time-resolved SAXS study displayed the structural changes during the process of spontaneous organization of the material from sol to the gel state. (B) Concentration-dependent structural study of gels formed of the 1,2-O-1-ethylpropylidene-a-D-glucofuranose with toluene [13]. The gelator molecule is larger and includes three free -OH groups.…”

“…We have applied this method to a structural study of in situ formation of galactose-based gel and have shown that during its gelation a structural transformation takes place [12]. In another work the dependence of glucofuranose-based gels on the gelator concentration was studied [13]. The aim of the present work is to reveal the common features of the structure of these gels and the way in which they change [14], as well as to propose some generalizations.…”

1,2-O-(1-Ethylpropylidene)-α-d-glucofuranose, a low molecular mass organogelator: benzene gel formation and their thermal stabilities

“…10 It is also known from literature that the title compound can gelatinize various organic solvents in a wide range of gelator concentration from 0.05% to 4% (g/mL). 8,[11][12][13][14] Unfortunately, there is no crystal structure and only little information of the microstructure of the xerogel formed by 1 with CCl 4 and toluene exists. 11,12 In order to learn more about the relationship between the gelator structure in the gel and the crystal structure of the pure gelator, the role of the solvent in gel formation, and the molecular dynamics of solvent molecules in the gel, we undertook studies of the gel derived from 1 and benzene.…”

Recent knowledge and innovations related to hexofuranosides: structure, synthesis and applications

“…at a concentration sometimes lower than 30 mg/mL. [240][241][242] Interestingly, its C-3 epimer D D-allofuranose exhibited very poor ability to form gels, probably due to a different network of hydrogenbondings as shown by their crystal structure.…”
