The formation of a robust, self-healing hydrogel of a novel pyrene-appended dipeptide, Py-E-A (L-Glutamic acid short as E; L-Alanine short as A) is demonstrated. Detailed studies suggest that nanoscopic fibers with a length of several micrometers have formed by chiral self-organization of Py-E-A gelators. Additionally, live human PBMCs imaging is shown using the Py-E-A fluorophore.

A highly efficient approach for synthesizing a supramolecular metallogel of Co(II) ions, denoted as CoA-TA, has been established under room temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions. This method employs the metal-coordinating organic ligand benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid as a low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) in DMF solvent. A comprehensive analysis of the mechanical properties of the resulting supramolecular Co(II)-metallogel was conducted through rheological investigation, considering angular frequency and thixotropic study.

A novel strategy was employed to create supramolecular metallogels incorporating Tb(iii) and Eu(iii) ions using benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (TA) as a gelator in ,-dimethylformamide (DMF). Rheological analysis demonstrated their mechanical robustness under varying stress levels and angular frequencies. FESEM imaging revealed a flake-like hierarchical network for Tb-TA and a rod-shaped architecture for Eu-TA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates two new glycoconjugates, Z-P(Gly)-Glu and Z-F(4-N)-Glu, which can form effective self-healing gels in water and various organic solvents, highlighting their ambidextrous supergelator properties.
  • Characterization revealed that these gelators exhibit β-sheet structures that lead to the formation of unique left-handed helical fibers, potentially useful for biomedical applications due to their benign and non-toxic nature.
  • The research further demonstrates the gels' effectiveness in drug delivery, such as streptomycin, along with favorable cell compatibility and antimicrobial properties, paving the way for innovative therapeutic uses.
