Organogels and low molecular mass organic gelators
Organogels from low molecular mass organic gelators (LMOGs) are able to be cycled between the liquid and the gel state, which is important for applications where on-demand flow is desirable. Their structural complexity can vary from simple alkanes to CEP (see Figure), which is known to form molecular wires when gelling chloroform. These authors discuss the relationship between structure and function and give an overview of present and potential applications.
