Abstract Low molecular weight gelator molecules consisting of aliphatic acid, amino acid (phenylglycine), and ω-aminoaliphatic acid units have been designed. By varying the number of methylene units in the aliphatic and ω-aminoaliphatic acid chains, as defined by descriptors m and n, respectively, a series of positionally isomeric gelators having different positions of the peptidic hydrogen-bonding unit within the gelator molecule has been ...
