title: A rodlike organogelator: fibrous aggregation of azobenzene derivatives with a syn-chiral carbonate moiety.
abstract: A chiral azobenzene derivative containing a cyclic syn-carbonate moiety functions as a gelator for various organic solvents; the dipole-dipole interaction drives the fibrous self-assembly of the rodlike gelator.
