Novel family of low molecular weight hydrogelators based on L-lysine derivatives.
New L-lysine derivatives with a positively charged terminal can gel water below 1 wt%; particularly, 1a and 2a form a hydrogel at 0.3 wt% corresponding to approximately 12,300 and 12,500 waters/gelator molecule, respectively.
