Abstract

Novel C(3)-symmetrical heteroaromatic hexaazatrinaphthylene (HATNA) gelators symmetrically end-substituted with pendant aromatic and aliphatic amines were synthesized. Some of these π-conjugated structures induce self-assembly, forming fibers able to gelate solvents of different polarity at low wt% as demonstrated by spectroscopic and microscopic techniques.
