| Abstract | We propose a facile approach toward enhancing the efficiency of fluoride-responsive gels through the positioning of functionalized receptor units, allowing tunable intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding, in the gelator molecules. We prepared the new glycolipid-based gelator 2 and its hydroxy and methoxy derivatives 2a and 2b, respectively, to study the effects of three types modes of supramolecular assembly: solely intermolecular hydrogen bonding in 2, solely intramolecular hydrogen bonding in 2b, and both inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in 2a. 1H NMR spectra confirmed the self-assembly interactions of these glycolipid-based gelators. We measured the minimum gel concentrations and sol–gel transitions and recorded X-ray diffraction patterns and electron micrographs to characterize the gelation behavior and structural organization of each of these supramolecular gels. Among these three gelators, only 2 and 2a could form organogels in the test solvents, indicating that intermolecular hydrogen bonding plays a determinant role in the supramolecular assemblies leading to gelation. The self-assembly of 2 resulted in a bilayer-packed lamellar structure within ribbon-like fibers, whereas that of 2a resulted in hexagonally packed cylindrical micelles within tree-like fibers. A minimum amount of 0.3 equivalent of F− was required for complete disruption of the gel formed from 2a, which was approximately four times lower than that required for the gel formed from 2. Thus, the incorporation of a β-hydroxy motif—the only difference in the chemical structures of 2 and 2a—led to interesting variations in the resulting gel morphologies and enhanced the gel's fluoride-responsiveness. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
