Abstract

This paper describes synthesis and physicochemical properties of low molecular-mass organic gelators; 4-(2-perfluorooctyl)ethoxy- and 4-(2-perfluorooctyl)ethylthio-1 -alkoxybenzenes (compounds 1-n and 2-n). These compounds show remarkable gelation ability in various organic solvents, such as methanol, cyclohexane, acetonitrile, DMF, and so on. The critical gel concentration of 1-n is superior to that of 2-n; while the elongation of alkoxy chain length increase gelation ability in both compounds.
