| Abstract | Organogel networks from low molecular weight components are a fascinating class of functional nanomaterials, with tremendous potential for a wide variety of commercial applications ranging from medicine, electronics, printing, personal care, and environmental remediation [1]. Here, we discuss the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured organogels from two new classes of amphiphilic compounds: alkylated (1) isophthalic acids (ISAs) and (2) benzimidazolones (BZIs). Both classes exhibit excellent gelator behavior in a variety of nonpolar solvents due to the formation of robust 3D networks of well-defined nanostructured aggregates stabilized by hydrogen-bonding, pi-stacking, and van der Waals interactions. |
