This Bachelor’s thesis consists of a literature part and an experimental part.
The literature part first presents the terminology of supramolecular chemistry followed by the concept of a supramolecular gel. After introducing selected biomolecules, some applications based on supramolecular gels derived from them are reviewed.
In the experimental part the gel formation abilities of three bile acid derivatives were examined.

The Effect of the Side Chain on Gelation Properties of Bile Acid Alkyl Amides
Kuosmanen, Riikka T.; Truong, Khai‐Nghi; Rissanen, Kari T.; Sievänen, Elina I. (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2021)Six bile acid alkyl amide derivatives were studied with respect to their gelation properties. The derivatives were composed of three different bile acids with hexyl or cyclohexyl side chains. The gelation behaviour of all ... -
Strategies for Exploring Functions from Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries
Jia, Chunman; Qi, Dawei; Zhang, Yucang; Rissanen, Kari; Li, Jianwei (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2020)Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) is a powerful approach for creating complex chemical systems, giving access to the studies of complexity and exploration of functionality in synthetic systems. However, compared with ... -
Thermodynamic and electrochemical study of tailor-made crown ethers for redox-switchable (pseudo)rotaxanes
Hupatz, Henrik; Gaedke, Marius; Schröder, Hendrik, V.; Beerhues, Julia; Valkonen, Arto; Klautzsch, Fabian; Müller, Sebastian; Witte, Felix; Rissanen, Kari; Sarkar, Biprajit; Schalley, Christoph A. (Beilstein Institut, 2020)Crown ethers are common building blocks in supramolecular chemistry and are frequently applied as cation sensors or as subunits in synthetic molecular machines. Developing switchable and specifically designed crown ethers ... -
A supramolecular system that strictly follows the binding mechanism of conformational selection
Yang, Liu-Pan; Zhang, Li; Quan, Mao; Ward, Jas S.; Ma, Yan-Long; Zhou, Hang; Rissanen, Kari; Jiang, Wei (Nature Publishing Group, 2020)Induced fit and conformational selection are two dominant binding mechanisms in biology. Although induced fit has been widely accepted by supramolecular chemists, conformational selection is rarely studied with synthetic ... -
Correlating Solution‐ and Solid‐State Structures of Conformationally Flexible Resorcinarenes : Significance of a Sulfonyl Group in Intramolecular Self‐Inclusion
Pamuła, Małgorzata; Nissinen, Maija; Helttunen, Kaisa (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2020)In this study, the synthesis of tetramethoxy resorcinarene podands bearing p‐toluene arms connected by ‐SO3‐ (1) and ‐CH2O‐ (2) linkers is presented. In the solid state, the resorcinarene podand 1 forms an intramolecular ...
