Silver(I) forms a hydrogel in the presence of cholate with unusual properties, which are not observed with other cations. Polarity-sensitive probes have shown that the spherical aggregates observed in the gel have 'pockets' with hydrophobicity comparable to that of degassed cyclohexane. The gel exhibited thermo- and mechanoresponsive properties. Color tunability from blue to cyan and green was observed with prodan. The two sol phases of the gel formed by applying stress and temperature showed very different properties.

Spontaneous formation of a supramolecular metal-organic hydrogel using unsubstituted guanosine as a ligand and Zn ions is reported. Guanosine, in the presence of NaOH, self-assembled into a stable G-quadruplex structure, which underwent crosslinking through Zn ions to afford a stable hydrogel. The gel has been characterized using several spectroscopic as well as microscopic studies.

The construction of smart materials, especially white light emitting (WLE) hydrogels with multi-stimuli responsive properties, has received widespread attention from researchers. In this study, a WLE hydrogel was obtained by the doping of Eu and Tb into a blue emission low molecular weight gelator (MPF). Remarkably, the prepared WLE hydrogel possessed excellent stimuli responsiveness to pH, temperature and chemicals, and could be used as a soft thermometer and a selective sensor for Cu.

Stimuli-responsive supramolecular gels and metallogels have been widely explored in the past decade, but the fabrication of metallogels with reversible photoresponsive properties remains largely unexplored. In this study, we report the construction of photoresponsive hybrid zinc-based metallohydrogel systems coassembled from an imidazole functionalized phenylalanine derivative gelator (ImF) and carboxylic acid functionalized arylazopyrazole (AzoPz) molecular photoswitches in the presence of Zn ions. Unlike traditional covalent conjugation, noncovalent introduction of small molecular switches into the gel matrix provides a convenient route to generate photoresponsive functional materials with tunable properties and expands the scope of optically controlled molecular self-assemblies.

The design of stimuli-responsive hydrogels is attractive but challenging. A multi-stimuli-responsive chiral metallohydrogel was constructed using a rational approach to design a functional metallohydrogel using chiral organic gelators. The as-synthesized metallohydrogel reported here performed remarkably as a visual sensor for discriminating between (R)-phenylglycinol and (S)-phenylglycinol.

The first La3+-selective metallohydrogel was constructed by using a facile gelator of a phenylalanine derivative containing an imidazole group, N-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)methylidene-l-phenylalanine, namely La-ImF, which exhibits multi-stimuli responsive properties, including to heat, shearing, pH, etc. Various measurements were also carried out to obtain insights into the mechanism of gelation. Moreover, the La-ImF hydrogel can adsorb toxic dyes, making it a potential candidate for sewage treatment.
