Isomeric effect in the self-assembly of pyridine-containing L-glutamic lipid: substituent position controlled morphology and supramolecular chirality

摘要

Three isomeric pyridine-containing L-glutamic lipids formed organogels in DMSO and self-assembled into different nano-structures of nanofiber, nanotwist and nanotube depending on the substituent position in the pyridine ring.
