[reaction: see text]. An amide-functionalized phenylethynylthiophene gelator has been synthesized. Self-assembly of this molecule via cooperative hydrogen bonding and pi-stacking induced gelation of a variety of organic solvents. The presence of aggregates was confirmed by concentration-dependent absorption and fluorescence properties. SEM and TEM studies reveal the formation of fiberlike nanostructure.
