Abstract

Abstract Sugar-appended porphyrins (1 a–e) with monosaccharide groups at their periphery have been rationally designed for a new class of gelating reagents. A few of these compounds have the tendancy to form one-dimensional aggregates stable enough to show successful gelation ability for DMF–alcohol mixed solvents. The aggregation mode in the specific columnar super structures has been evaluated in detail by UV-visible ...
