Aj. Carr et al., THE DESIGN OF ORGANIC GELATORS - SOLUTION AND SOLID-STATE PROPERTIES OF A FAMILY OF BIS-UREAS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(41), 1998, pp. 7447-7450
A family of bis-urea derivatives has been synthesized and shown to fun
ction as effective gelators in certain organic solvents. The X-ray str
ucture of one bis-urea shows a cylindrical hydrogen bonding network wi
th extensive interdigitation of the alkyl esters which project from th
e central rod. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
