Modular synthesis of formamidines and their formation of stable organogels.
An improvement in the practical aspects of formamidine synthesis has resulted in the discovery of a class of compounds which produce organogels in protic solvents, presumably through intermolecular hydrogen bonding and pi-pi stacking interactions.
