Abstract

p-Tolyl glycerol ether not belonging to any of the known gelator families forms stable transparent gels in hydrocarbon media showing very good quantitative characteristics of gelling abilities, which are, in turn, strongly dependent on the chiral characteristics of the gelator. The crystal packing differences between the rac- and scal-substances could be the reason for such behaviour.
