Abstract A new series of N-(thiazol-2-yl) benzamide derivatives were synthesized, characterized and investigated for their gelation behavior with the aim to elucidate the role of methyl functionality and multiple non-covalent interactions on gelation/non-gelation behavior using Crystal engineering approach. Interestingly, two amides, namely, 3-methyl-N-(thiazol-2-yl) benzamide (1c) and 3-methyl-N-(5-methylthiazol-2-yl) benzamide (3c) displayed gelation behavior towards ethanol/water and methanol/water mixture with good stability and low minimum gelator concentration (MGC). The single crystal structure of gelator (1c) displayed the helical assembly driven by π-π interaction along with cyclic N–H⋯N and S⋯O interaction, whereas single crystal structure of gelator (3c) displayed 2D hydrogen bonded network without any π-π interaction.
