Abstract

Urea derivatives that were substituted with a 2-benzylphenyl group and an alkyl group function as low-molecular-weight gelators for various organic solvents and ionic liquids. Those with long alkyl chains are effective for the gelation of polar solvents. However, they are not suitable for the gelation of non-polar solvents, whereas urea derivatives with short alkyl chains are effective. Ionic liquids are similar to polar solvents in that urea derivatives with long alkyl chains are the most effective gelators. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Masamichi Yamanaka et al.
