✦ Synopsis

N-Acyl amino acids RCONH(CH ) COOR represent a new family of organogelators that can be obtained in a combinatorial approach from libraries of activated acids and amino acids. The amounts required for gel formation in solvents such as DMF are less than 1 mg mL and the gels formed are very stable. n=5, 7, 10, 12; R=aromatic or aliphatic group; R =H or alkali metal (Na).
