Abstract

Photo-generated nitric oxide radicals (NO) derived from sodium nitroprusside dihydrate (SNP) are employed for the construction of supramolecular hydrogels based on an amino acid derivative precursor, N-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl tyrosine phosphate (FYP), which through dephosphorylation produces the gelator, N-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl tyrosine (FY). Self-assembly of the amphiphilic gelator yields high-aspect ratio nanofilaments that entangle to form self-supporting, viscoelastic hydrogels. The presence of photolyzed SNP yields periodically twisted nanofilaments with opposite chirality to filaments formed through conventional hydrogelation routes.
