Lithium-Selective Supramolecular Assembly and Capture by Tripeptide Gelators

Key Points

To develop a new approach for creating lithium-responsive gelators using a specific tripeptide motif.
Incorporated the FFD tripeptide motif into N-capped peptide gelators.
Evaluated the gelation properties and responsiveness to lithium ions.
Analyzed the structural properties of the resulting gelators.
Successfully achieved lithium-selective supramolecular assembly.
Demonstrated increased gelation efficiency upon lithium ion incorporation.
Showed that the FFD motif enhances lithium capture capabilities.

Abstract

We report a simple design strategy to introduce lithium-responsiveness into N -capped peptide low-molecular-weight gelators by incorporating the FFD tripeptide motif (FF extended with Asp). Asp adds an oxygen-rich carboxylate residue...
