A new series of 3,6-dimethyl-pyrazine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized and both their gelation abilities and thermotropic properties were studied. These compounds are efficient organogelators and easily form stable gels in many organic solvents. Moreover, they are room temperature...
