Abstract
Self-assembling behavior of N,N′-didodecyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxamide and its silver complex has been studied. They act as gelators in solution and gelate a variety of organic solvents. Though the silver complex exhibits lower gelation abilities for halogenated and aromatic solvents, long-term stability is achieved for ethanol and acetone gels. Moreover, the silver complex exhibits a smectic A phase on cooling while a single component of N,N′-didodecyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxamide exhibits no mesomorphic behavior. The XRD pattern for the complex shows that the layer spacing of the SA phase is 37 A˚.
