Abstract
A new group of organogelators, L-phenylalanine dihydrazide derivatives were synthesized, which can self-assemble in various organic solvents and turned them into thermally reversible physical supramolecular organogels at extremely low concentrations (<2 wt %). Scanning electron microscopy measurements revealed that the gelator self-assembled into different supramolecular network structures in different solvents. FT-IR spectroscopy studies revealed that intermolecular hydrogen bonding between N-H and C=O of amide group and hydrophobic interaction of the alkyl groups were the driving forces for the formation of the gels. Based on the data of XRD and molecular modeling, one possible packing mode for the formation of organogelator aggregates was proposed.
