Synthesis, Photophysical Characterization, and Gelation Studies of a Stilbene-Cholesterol Derivative
Geiger, H. Christina; Geiger, David K.; Baldwin, Christine
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n1 p106-109 Jan 2006
Organogels are low molar mass organic compounds with the ability to immobilize an incredible quantity of solvent and fibrous aggregation of these compounds formed by noncovalent interaction usually involves hydrogen bonding. For stilbene-cholesterol based gelators, the driving force for molecular aggregation are weak van der Waal interactions developed by the stacking of cholesterol moieties and noncovalent pi-pi interactions between the aromatic rings in the stilbene.
