Liesegang ring formation during the supramolecular hydrogelation of the chiral drug methocarbamol

The chiral drug methocarbamol, which is prone to spontaneous resolution, is an effective molecular hydrogelator as both an enantiomer and a racemate; the samples of methocarbamol having an intermediate enantiomeric composition generate clearly visible periodic structures (Liesegang rings) during the gelation process.
