Gelation by supramolecular dimerization of mono(urea)s

Hooper, Abigail E.; Kennedy, Stuart R.; Jones, Christopher D.; Steed, Jonathan W.

Abstract

Mono-ureido salicylic acid derivatives form hydrogen bonded dimers that mimic the gelation behaviour of covalently linked bis(urea)s. The 5-ureido salicylic acid isomers are much more effective gelators because of the lowered conjugation and less planar geometry, resulting in stronger urea···urea -tape hydrogen bonding interactions.
