title: Aryl 4,6-O-arylidene-1-thio-beta-d-glycopyranoside-based new organogelators and their gels.
abstract: Aryl 4,6-O-arylidene-1-thio-beta-d-glycopyranosides based on glucose and galactose form organogels in benzene, toluene, o- and p-xylene and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene. The gel morphologies of micro and nano dimensions were studied using SEM and TEM. Absorption spectroscopic studies of two organogels in benzene revealed that CH-pi or pi-stacking along with intermolecular H-bonding is responsible for the gel assembly.
