Popis: A family of low-molecular-weight organogelators based on Nα,Nɛ-diacyl- l -lysine was synthesized by acylation of Nɛ-dodecyl- l -lysine with acyl chlorides through the one-pot synthetic procedure and their organogelation properties were examined. These compounds functioned as an organogelator; especially, l -lysine derivatives possessing the branched alkyl groups are a better organogelation property. The NMR and IR studies demonstrate that the organogelation occurred through hydrogen bonding interactions between the amide groups and between the carboxy groups.
