ABSTRACT
Small molecule gelators are serendipitously discovered more often than they are designed. As a consequence, it has been challenging to develop applications based on the limited set of known materials. This synopsis highlights recent strategies to streamline the process of gelator discovery, with a focus on the role of unidirectional intermolecular interactions and solvation. We present these strategies as a series of tools that can be employed to help identify gelator scaffolds and solvents for gel formation. Overall, we suggest that this guided approach is more efficient than random derivatization and screening.
