Systematic structure–property optimization of an achiral gelator (aryl-triazolyl homo dipeptide) through a fragment replacement approach led to the identification of a new chiral system having leucine as the C-terminal residue, which exhibits consistent and perfectly reversible chiro-optical responses on sol–gel transition.
