Aryl-triazolyl peptides for efficient phase selective gelation and easy removal of dyes from water

Abstract

Fine-tuning the gelation ability of aryl triazolyl peptide 1 by C-terminal modification led to the identification of 2 with the remarkable ability to form highly transparent gels in a wide range of solvents including oils. Good rheological properties, effective phase-selective gelation in short time periods, and usefulness in dye removal from water are the other highlights.
