Abstract We report for the first time the discovery of the gelation properties of Hunter's oligoamide with pendant amino groups, 1 , which possesses structural features different to some conventional gelators. the organogels were studied with infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. Remarkably, the effective self‐assembly process of this oligoamide to produce stable organogels occurs exclusively in chlorinated solvents. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
