Bile acid alkylamide derivatives as low molecular weight organogelators: Systematic gelation studies and qualitative structural analysis of the systems

► Bile acid amides screened in 36 solvents for supramolecular gelation. ► Kamlet-Taft parameters can probe solvent-gelator interactions. ► Micrometer-scale colloidal aggregates and fibers present. ► Spherical aggregates found uncommon for bile acid organogels.
