• closedAccess   Control of molecular gelation by chemical stimuli 

      Segarra Maset, María Dolores; Nebot Carda, Vicent J.; Miravet, Juan; Escuder, Beatriu Royal Society of Chemistry (2012-12-21)
      Molecular gels are formed by the self-assembly of low-molecular weight compounds by weak non-covalent interactions and thus, they may be easily disassembled in response to external stimuli. Chemically sensitive gels can ...
    • openAccess   HRMAS 1H NMR as a tool for the study of supramolecular gels 

      Iqbal, Sajid; Rodríguez Llansola, Francisco; Escuder, Beatriu; Miravet, Juan; Verbruggen, Ingrid; Willem, Rudolph Royal Society of Chemistry (2010-03-30)
      HRMAS 1H NMR is reported for the first time as a useful technique to gain insight into the dynamic properties of aggregates present in supramolecular gels. The study of several low molecular weight gelators with this ...
    • openAccess   Remarkable increase in basicity associated with supramolecular gelation 

      Rodríguez Llansola, Francisco; Escuder, Beatriu; Miravet, Juan Royal Society of Chemistry (2009)
      L-Proline derivatives which are able to form supramolecular gels show an amazing basicity increase in the aggregated (gel) state as compared to solution. As a result they behave as enantioselective catalysts for the aldol ...
    • openAccess   Structural and morphological studies of the dipeptide based L-Pro-L-Val organocatalytic gels and their rheological behaviour 

      Escuder, Beatriu; Rodríguez-Llansola, Francisco; Hamley, Ian W.; Miravet, Juan; Hayes, Wayne Royal Society of Chemistry (2012-07)
      Organocatalytic gels based on the dipeptide sequence L-Pro-L-Val have been studied by two different FTIR techniques. This suggests a different arrangement of the gelator molecules in the self-assembled fibers depending on ...
