• monocarboxylate (SAM) [36][37], secondary ammonium dicarboxylate (SAD) [38][39], primary ammonium monocarboxylate (PAM) [40][41] and primary ammonium dicarboxylate (PAD) [42][43] appear to play a crucial role in gel formation (Scheme 1). In the present work we intend to exploit SAD synthons to make chiral gels
