We have found that aggregation mode and gelation property of thymidine-based organogelator are affected by the addition of its complementary polynucleotide in organic media.
We report on a synthesis of novel thymidine based organogelators and a study of their gelation types in relation to structure and solvent, using various data acquired through FT-IR, SEM images and differential scanning calorimetry.
Through the simple modification of nucleoside, a new class of organogelator was synthesized. Five kinds of thymidine-based organogelators gelated in various organic solvents. Their SEM microscopic images showed three different types. The driving force of gelation is mainly hydrogen bonding interaction.
