Dataset for: Influence of Anions and Alkyl Chain Lengths of N-Alkyl-n-(R)-12-Hydroxyoctadecyl Ammonium Salts on Their Hydrogels and Organogels

The self-assembly and gelating characteristics of a set of N-alkyl-(R)-12-hydroxyoctadecylammonium salts (nHOA-X, where n = 0−6, 18 is the length of the alkyl chain on nitrogen, X = Cl, n = 3, and X = Br, NO3, and BF4) were investigated. N-alkyl-(R)-12-hydroxyoctadecylammonium salts were manipulated to various phases (neat solid, hydrogel, and toluene gel) by cooling at different rates. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) was used along with polarized optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy to make observations. This dataset reports the angle and XRD intensity of 3-HOA-Br as a neat solid, hydrogel, and toluene gel after exposure to 22 degrees C; as well as 3-HOA-NO3 and 3-HOA-BF4 as neat solids after exposure to 22 degrees C. Conductivity measurements of 3-HOA-Br 3-HOA-Cl, 3-HOA-NO3, and 3-HOA-BF4 in water at various temperatures are included. The melting temperature of hydrogels was also measured after exposure to various chlorine concentrations.
