title: Thymidine-based gelators: design, synthesis, and evaluation.
abstract: 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.
