Two novel quadruple hydrogen-bonding motifs: the formation of supramolecular polymers, vesicles, and organogels

Two new hydrazide-based quadruple hydrogen-bonding motifs are described. Dipodals based on these two motifs are revealed to form supramolecular polymers, which can further aggregate to form vesicles and/or organogels in hydrocarbons. The quadruple hydrogen-bonding motifs are characterized by the X-ray diffraction and (2D) 1H NMR experiments, while the vesicles and organogels are evidenced by SEM, AFM, TEM, and fluorescent microscopy.
