Abstract
Gelators with a molecular mass of 200 Da are synthesized, and the mechanisms of the formation of anisotropic supramolecular structures during the gelation of N-trifluoroacetyl derivatives of amino alcohols are discussed. The conditions of their stability are identified and the thresholds of gelation of the alcohols in various solvents are determined. It is shown that the gels are formed at concentrations of 10−2–10−3 M, values substantially lower the percolation threshold for isotropic molecules. An analysis of possible topological structures formed in the gel phase is performed.
