Abstract
⺠Three stigmasterol-amino acid conjugates were prepared and fully characterized. ⺠Gelation properties of the compounds were tested in 22 organic solvents and water. ⺠The protonation of NH2 group of amino acid is crucial for the gel formation. ⺠Reversible sol-gel transitions can be induced with pH stimuli. ⺠The gelators, gels and xerogels were studied by solution and solid-state NMR, IR and SEM.
