Summary: Self assembly of oligo(phenylene vinylene) based gelator is studied in three different solvents namely, trans‐decahydronaphthalene (trans‐decalin), benzene and benzyl alcohol. The morphology as well as the thermal properties are different for benzyl alcohol gel as compared to those gels in trans‐decalin or benzene. X‐ray diffraction studies indicate that in case of benzyl alcohol gel, the molecular organization is highly ordered with respect to the fibrils grown in other two solvents.
