A new serial of gelators with two cholesteryl groups based on o-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine and p-phenylenediamine were synthesized, and their organogelation ability was evaluated. We found that G-o could form gels in DMF, DMSO and ethyl acetate, G-m and G-p could only gel DMF and 1,4-dioxane. The organogels were thoroughly characterized using various microscopic techniques including field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectrum, FT-IR spectrum and contact angle. The gelation ability, morphology, self-assembly mode and materials surface wettability all could be tuned via isomeride effect in self-assembly system. Interestingly, superhydrophobic surface was formed via the self-assembly of compound G-p in 1,4-dioxane and exhibited very high adsorption capacity for water. This gel system provided new method for modulation self-assembly process in supramolecular field.
我们合成了一系列基于邻苯二胺、间苯二胺和对苯二胺的具有两个胆固醇基团的新型凝胶剂,并评估了它们的凝胶能力。我们发现 G-o 可以在 DMF、DMSO 和乙酸乙酯中形成凝胶,G-m 和 G-p 只能使 DMF 和 1,4-二恶烷凝胶化。使用场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)、X 射线衍射(XRD)、紫外可见光谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱和接触角等各种微观技术对有机凝胶进行了彻底的表征。通过在自组装体系中的异构体效应,可以调节凝胶能力、形态、自组装模式和材料表面润湿性。有趣的是,通过化合物 G-p 在 1,4-二恶烷中的自组装形成了超疏水表面,对水表现出非常高的吸附能力。该凝胶体系为超分子领域中调节自组装过程提供了新的方法。
