摘要
A phenyl and a 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl ring, each bearing a tris(n-dodecyloxy) benzylamine moiety via an amide bond, were tethered together through an imine linkage to give a non-covalent synthon (imine 1) with a strong capacity of supramolecular self-assembly. Gelation was observed in several organic solutions, within which fibrous aggregate morphologies were visualized by SEM and AFM. Both arene-perfluoroarene stacking and amide-amide hydrogen bonding interactions were responsible for such self-assembly behaviours, as evidenced by H-1 NMR studies. Hydrolysis of the imine linkage catalyzed by acid strongly weakened the intermolecular interactions, resulting in dissociation of the low molecular weight gelator and giving rise to an acid-mediated gel-sol transition.
