Abstract

Abstract : 10, 11-Didehydroquinine is a simple, low molecular weight supergelator forming in nonpolar media stable, chiral organogels composed of unique double-helix nano-sized fibers. A novel gelation mechanism involes hydrogen bonding network formed by acidic alkyne proton of Cinchona gelator and carbonyl group of ethyl acetate used as a solvent.
