Organogels were Prepared from a 1:3 molar ratio of metal/ligand complexes of iron(III) or aluminum(III) with methyl dodecanephosphonic acid or dodecylmethylphosphinic acid at a concentration of 10 mM in dodecane, Gelation occurs spontaneously upon dissolution of the solid complex. Dynamic oscillatory measurements over the temperature range of 100-150 degrees C indicate that these materials behave as living polymers. Both. reptation and reversible chain scission contribute to stress relaxation. The phosphonate ester complex gels are stronger than the corresponding dialkylphosphinate complex gels. Even at 150 degrees C, the phosphonate ester complexes maintained significant structure. Zero-shear viscosity activation energies are in the range of 26.5-61.2 kJ/mol, comparable to that for typical polymer melts.
