Abstract

Supramolecular gels are the self-assembly of low molecular-mass organic gelators through non-bonding interactions to form a 3D entangled fiberous network which immobilizes liquids.This paper reviewed the application of supramolecular gels for catalyzing organic reactions which is a new extended application of supramolecular gels.Recent development of using supromolecular gels as catalysts was summarized and classified according to the gelator structures and reaction types,and particular attentions were given to the unique features of catalysis by the supramolecular system.The challenges and perspectives in this field were discussed.
