Macrocycle‐induced formation of pure organic supramolecular aggregates is a challenge
that has attracted considerable attention from researchers in the fields of chemistry, biology …

Supramolecular gels, self-assembled from low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs), have a
long history and a bright future. This review provides an overview of these materials, from …

Self-assembly has proven to be a powerful tool for the construction of complex
superstructures. The assembly of monomers into supramolecular architectures via non …

We here describe our various concepts and achievements for material science, which have
been introduced through liquid-crystalline (LC) and polymer chemistry. They have resulted …

A series of peptides with a long fatty acyl chain covalently attached to the C-terminal part
and a free amine (-NH2) group at the N-terminus have been designed so that these …

A dipeptide-based synthetic amphiphile bearing a myristyl chain has been found to form
hydrogels in the pH range 6.9–8.5 and organogels in various organic solvents including …

We report the synthesis of a bis (urea) gelator designed to specifically mimic the chemical
structure of the highly polymorphic drug substance ROY. Crystallization of ROY from toluene …

This work presents stepwise design and synthesis of a set of amide-based compounds, L1–
L3, assisted by the crystal engineering approach. Out of the three compounds, L3 …

Bacterial infection is one of main causes that threaten global human health. Especially,
antibiotic-resistant bacteria like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) lead to …

A series of bis (urea) compounds with complementary functional groups similar to the
pharmaceutical drug metronidazole and a structural isomer isometronidazole have been …
