The peptidomimetics holding Trt （3 and 4） showed no gel performance, while the Fmoc groups promoted 5 and 6 to give rise to thermo-reversible organogels in a number of organic solvents. The self-assembled fibrillar networks were distinctly evidenced in the organogels by transmission electron micros- copy （TEM） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） observations. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR） and fluorescence analyses revealed that the hydrogen bonding and ^-rt stacking play as major driving forces for the self-assembly of these organogelators. A 13-turn secondary structure was deduced for the organogel of 6 by virtue of X-ray diffraction, FT-IR and circular dichroism （CD） measurements, and an interdigitated bilayer structure was also presented.展开更多
