含偶氮苯基元联酰胺衍生物的有机凝胶和光响应性质

设计合成了具有不同末端烷基链长度的偶氮苯类联酰胺衍生物N-(3,4-n-氧基苯基)-N'-4-(偶氮苯基)苯甲酰肼(Dn,n=7,8,10).Dn可以形成稳定的有机凝胶,末端烷基链增加有利于提高凝胶能力和热力学稳定性.凝胶形成的驱动力主要为联酰胺基团间的分子间氢键以及偶氮苯基团间的π-π相互作用和烷基链间的范德华力.在紫外光照射下,Dn中的反式偶氮苯向顺式转化,并且在溶液中的光响应性非常显著,但凝胶态下偶氮苯的光致顺反异构不能诱导凝胶-溶胶的转变.

合成了一种可聚合凝胶因子（Gelator)4，4’-二（α－甲基丙烯酰氧基－1， 3－亚乙氧基羰基丙酰氨基）二苯甲烷（BMDM）。BMDM能在二苯醚、甲苯、二甲苯 、氯苯等含苯环的低极性溶剂中形成热可逆的物理凝胶，而在二甲基甲酰胺、乙醇 和二氯甲烷等强极性溶剂中则易溶解，在乙醚、石油醚等非极性溶剂中不可溶解。 FT－IR和DSC研究该凝胶因子在二苯醚中形成的凝胶，发现该凝胶因子是通过氢键 等次价键力相互作用而聚集、自我组装形成凝胶的。利用溶胶－凝胶相转变和DSC 数据，研究了该有机凝胶的热力学参数和性质，BMDM在二苯醚中形成的凝胶聚集体 间的范德华弱相互作用焓为ΔH=0.8kJ·mol^-1，凝胶－溶胶相转变热焓为ΔH=22. 3kJ·mol^-1。     

外围间苯二甲酸二甲酯功能化的聚苯醚型树状分子：一类新型高效的 有机凝胶因子

有机凝胶因具有独特的微观自组装结构, 已成为超分子化学和纳米科学领域的研究热点. 树状分子凝胶综合了有机小分子凝胶和聚合物凝胶的优点, 近年来得到了科学家的重点关注. 虽然树状分子凝胶的研究已有不少报道, 但报道的体系中均含有酰胺基团等典型的氢键识别位点, 且一般树状分子代数较低. 因此, 如何寻找不含传统凝胶化基团的树状分子凝胶体系是目前该领域面临的挑战. 最近, 中国科学院化学研究所范青华课题组发展了一类新颖的树状分子有机凝胶因子——外围多个间苯二甲酸二甲酯官能化的聚苯醚型树状分子. 研究发现, 此类树状分子不仅能够在多种芳香性溶剂中形成凝胶, 而且在多种极性溶剂, 甚至含水体系中也能形成稳定的凝胶, 最低临界成胶浓度达到1.8 mg/mL(相当于每个树状分子可以固定1.75×104个溶剂分子), 且高代数树状分子也能在多种溶剂体系中形成凝胶, 突破了文献中认为只有低代数树状分子才能有效成胶的限制. 树状分子外围芳香环之间的多重π-π堆积作用被证明是其成胶的主要驱动力. 这一研究结果为设计合成其他的不含传统凝胶化基团的新型有机凝胶分子提供了重要基础.     

N-月桂酰-L-谷氨酸及其衍生物的凝胶性质研究

N-月桂酰-L-谷氨酸及其衍生物作为小分子凝胶因子可在有机溶剂中形成有机凝胶.通过观察成胶情况,测定最小成胶浓度,分析红外光谱,可以判断N-月桂酰-L-谷氨酸二丁酰胺的成胶能力最强,N-月桂酰-L-谷氨酸次之,N-月桂酰-L-谷氨酸二乙酯最弱.有机凝胶的稳定性与凝胶因子分子间的氢键、凝胶因子和有机溶剂间的氢键密切相关,N-月桂酰-L-谷氨酸二丁酰胺为凝胶因子的凝胶较稳定,乙醇-水为溶剂的凝胶也较稳定,因此分子间的氢键在凝胶的形成中起着关键的作用.     

水诱导N,N′,N″-三(4-吡啶基)-均三苯甲酰胺形成超分子凝胶研究

Gluco- and allofuranose derivatives, having unprotected three OH groups, were investigated as potential gelators, showing high gelating ability for a variety of organic solvents and result in new consistent class of organogelators.

Morphology-tunable and photoresponsive properties in a self-assembled two-component gel system

Photoresponsive C3-symmetrical trisurea self-assembling building blocks containing three azobenzene groups (LC10 and LC4) at the rim were designed and synthesized. By introducing a trisamide gelator (G18), which can self-aggregate through hydrogen bonds of acylamino moieties to form a fibrous network, the mixture of LC10 (or LC4) and G18 forms an organogel with coral-like supramolecular structure from 1,4-dioxane. The cooperation of hydrogen bonding and the hydrophobic diversity between these components are the main contributions to the specific superstructure. The two-component gel exhibits reversible photoisomerization from trans to cis transition without breakage of the gel state.

Bile acid alkylamide derivatives as low molecular weight organogelators: systematic gelation studies and qualitative structural analysis of the systems

A series of amino- and hydroxyalkyl amides of bile acids have been synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), as well as electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measurements. The ability of the synthesized molecules to promote gel formation was systematically investigated. Out of 396 combinations formed by 11 compounds and 36 different solvents, 22 gel-containing systems were obtained with 1% (w/v) gelator concentration. Apart from one exception, the gelator compounds were lithocholic acid derivatives. This challenges the general trend of bile acid-based physical gelators, according to which the gelation ability of lithocholic acid derivatives is poor. A correlation between the values of Kamlet-Taft parameters and solvent preferences for gelators was observed. The morphologies of the solid and gel structures studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed variability from fibers to spherical microscale aggregates, the latter of which are unique among bile acid-based organogels. The gels exhibited more complex behavior than was previously established with bile acid derivatives, judging by the microscale diversity present in gelating and non-gelating systems and the tendency for polymorphism. This study underlines the importance of both the molecular and colloidal scale aspects of the gelation phenomenon.     

Pyridine-containing versatile gelators for post-modification of gel tissues toward construction of novel porphyrin nanotubes

Low molecular weight gelators have recently been used as a template to construct novel kind of composite materials of different shape or structures such as helix, fibers, tape or tube through the electrostatic interaction between gelators and the intermediate molecules. In this article, we intricately apply the non-electrostatic interaction between gelator and fluorescent molecules to fabricate the gel fibers. To achieve our goal, we have intentionally designed pyridine containing cholesterol-based gelators 1-3 by keeping one thing in our mind that during the formation of the stacking column the pyridine moieties will be arranged like a spiral staircase around the cholesterol column. The gelation properties of these three gelators are tested in different solvents including sublimable solvents like naphthalene and the gelator 1 has emerged as a ‘supergelator’. The morphologies strongly depend on the process of solvent removal from the gel state and the stabilities of gel have been tuned by the added metal ions like Ag(I) by using metal-ligand interaction. Lastly, we have decorated the gel fibers obtained from gelator 1 with fluorescent molecules like tetraphenyl porphyrin Zn(II) [4·H and 4·Zn] having photopolymerizable unit at the end of tether groups and the modified fibers are well characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy as well as transmission electron microscopy. This is a novel example of decoration of gel fibers with fluorescent molecules and the process will offer an alternate application in photochemical and electrochemical devices.
