STABILIZATION OF ORGANOGELS AND HYDROGELS BY AZIDE-ALKYNEÝ2+3¨CYCLOADDITION

摘要

Self-assembled gels were modified by the installation of azide and alkyne groups on the gelator and reaction with complementary reagents by the catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. This is the first example of the use of a 'click' reaction in such a supramolecular environment, and a new strategy for tuning the properties of gelled materials .
