Supramolecular approach to the formation of magneto-active physical gels

Abstract

Magnetic fibers were obtained through self-assembly of a nitroxide radical gelator derived from an L-isoleucine-based scaffold. Spins in the fibers are aligned one-dimensionally due to the parallel β-sheet conformation of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The spin nanowires exhibit magnetic behavior reproducible by the Bonner–Fisher model.
