Organogel formation and molecular imprinting by functionalized gluconamides and their metal complexes

Abstract

Functionalized gluconamides and their metal complexes are shown to give supramolecular assemblies, in some cases chiral, and to form organogels in a large variety of organic solvents, e.g. methacrylate mixtures which can be polymerized, as well as o-xylene, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol and tetrahydrofuran.
