New low-molecular-mass organic gelators (LMOGs) bearing hydrazine linkage and end-capped by phenyl, namely 1,4-bis[(3,4-bisalkoxyphenyl)hydrozide]phenylene (BPH-n, n = 4, 6, 8, 10), were designed and synthesized. These organogelators have shown great ability to gel a variety of organic solvents to form stable organogels with the critical gelation concentration as low as 8.7 x 10(-4) mol L(-1) (0.06 wt %). The formed gel has a high gel-sol transition temperature (T(gel)) at low gelation concentration. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has been observed after gelation though conventional chromophore units not incorporated in BPH-n. The fluorescence quantum yields of xerogel are 2 orders higher than that of dilute solution. In addition, the BPH-n (n = 6, 8, 10) exhibited thermotropic hexagonal column (Col(h)) mesophase, which are stable at room temperature as revealed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies.
新型含腙键的低分子量有机凝胶因子(LMOG),其端基被苯基封端,即 1,4-双[(3,4-二烷氧基苯基)腙]苯(BPH-n,n = 4,6,8,10),被设计和合成。这些有机凝胶因子具有将各种有机溶剂凝胶化的巨大能力,形成的凝胶在低至 8.7 x 10(-4) mol L(-1)(0.06 wt %)的浓度下具有低临界凝胶浓度。在低凝胶浓度下,形成的凝胶具有较高的凝胶-溶胶转变温度(T(gel))。尽管在 BPH-n 中未掺入常规发色团单元,但凝胶化后观察到聚集诱导发射(AIE)。干凝胶的荧光量子产率比稀溶液高 2 个数量级。此外,BPH-n(n = 6,8,10)表现出热致六方柱状(Col(h))介相,这在差示扫描量热法(DSC)、偏光显微镜(POM)和 X 射线衍射(XRD)研究中揭示了它们在室温下的稳定性。
