  ABSTRACT: The complexes of maleic N-monoalkylamides and aliphatic amines lead to the formation of sheet-like and fiber-shaped aggregates in diverse organic solvents. Their morphologies and microstructures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), as well as small angle X-ray diffraction (SA-XRD). The results reveal that the alkyl chain lengths of 8-12 carbons for maleic N-monoalkylamides, and 12-18 carbons for aliphatic amines, are suitable for obtaining highly efficient two-component gelators.

  ABSTRACT: A family of low molecular weight organogelators (LMOG) based on monochain derivatives of ethylenediamine were investigated. The monochain derivatives of ethylenediamine show strong gelation ability in a number of organic solvents, including polar solvents and non-polar solvents. In gel state, molecules of monochain ethylenediamine derivatives self-assemble into ordered aggregates, which are juxtaposed and interlocked to form three-dimensional networks of fiber bundles as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies demonstrate that intermolecular hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules are critical factor in the process of organogelation.

  ABSTRACT: The monoalkyl chain derivatives of succinic acid self-assemble into ordered bilayer aggregates by forming dimers of hydrogen bonded carboxylic acid in a number of organic solvents and finally gelatinize the solvents. The gelation ability of each derivative was inspected. The morphologies of xerogels were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The microstructure of aggregates was studied by small angle X-ray diffraction (SA-XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results reveal that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules are critical factor in the process of organogelation.
