Uridine-based Low-molecular Mass Gelators towards Smart Ionogels

A glucopyranosyltriazole unit covalently bonded to a uridine nucleoside was synthesized and its gelation properties evaluated in ionic liquids. The ionogels were thermally stable; no melting occurred up to 111°C at 5 wt % concentration. Moreover, ionogel formed by gelator at 3 wt % concentration in [BMIM][TFSA] was found to retain the high conducting performances of the ionic liquid.Glucopyranosyltriazole unit covalently bonded on to uridine nucleoside was synthesized as novle low-molecular mass gelators (LMMGs). Their gelation properties were evaluated in different kinds of ionic liquids. The ionogels consist of fibrous structures having good thermally stability and high ionic conductivity.
