Abstract
N-Isopropylcholamide afforded three kinds of matters in organic solvents; organogels, inclusion crystals, and guest-free crystals. The gelation occurred in aromatic liquids in the presence of methanol as a good solvent, while the inclusion crystals were formed when adding ethanol, 1-propanol, or acetone as a good solvent. The guest-free crystals were obtained in benzene when using 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, or 3-pentanone. Electron microscopic image of the organogel exhibited that the network was formed by gathering of many colloidal particles of several hundreds nanometers in diameter.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
