First snapshot of a nonpolymeric hydrogelator interacting with its gelling solvents.

A pyridyl urea based low molecular weight supramolecular hydrogelator has been synthesized; crystallized from its gelling solvents, the single crystal structure of the gelator molecule interacting with its gelling solvents reported herein is the first example in the literature.
