Abstract

A self-associating synthetic tripeptide [Boc-Ala(1)-Aib(2)-β-Ala(3)-OMe (Aib: α-amino-isobutyric acid, β-Ala: β-alanine)] forms thermoreversible transparent gels in various organic solvents and this offers the first example of a peptide gelator whose molecular self-assembly afforded for gelation has been characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FT-IR and NMR spectroscopic studies. The crystal structure of an analogous synthetic non-gelator tripeptide [Boc-Ala(1)-Gly(2)-β-Ala(3)-OMe] is also discussed in light of the self-assembly of the gelator tripeptide.
