Abstract
Low molecular weight gelators are versatile and responsive gel-forming systems. However, it is still a challenge to develop a new organogelator for a precise application, i.e., to gel a predetermined liquid. We propose a simple concept of a two-component gelling system that can be rationally adapted to gel liquids ranging in polarity from silicone oil to acetonitrile.Keywords
