We report a novel example of ligand-chirality finely controlled in situ supramolecular hydrogel formation based on the coordination of phenylalanine (Phe) to Cu(II) with higher selectivity over other metal ions. As decreasing both enantiomeric excesses (ee%) of ligand Phe towards its D- and L-forms, the gelation ability of Phe-Cu(II) supramolecular metallogelator was found to be weakened and eventually disappeared, which likely resulted from the stereoselectivity of the ligand Phe…

A dual-responsive green-light-emitting supramolecular metal hydrogel (G-gel) was prepared by the reaction of a simple hydrazide-functionalized benzimidazole ligand (L) with Tb(NO3)3. The green…
Visual-size molecular recognition based on gels.
TLDR
The recent progresses in macroscopic or visual-size molecular recognition for a number of homologues, isomers, and anions, as well as extremely challenging chiral enantiomers, using polymer and molecular gels are reviewed.
Miniaturization of metal-biomolecule frameworks based on stereoselective self-assembly and potential application in water treatment and as antibacterial agents.
TLDR
This work demonstrates with an intriguing example, that the self-assembly ability of supramolecular nanofibers could be finely tuned with the ligands' chirality, and offers opportunities for obtaining one-dimensional hierarchical nanostructures and expands the investigation scope of stereoselective self- assembly.

In situ formation of CdS quantum dots integrated into a metallogel formed through the coordination of C d2+ with two pyrimidine nucleobases is reported, which will find applications in energy harvesting and sensing.
Triazolyl-Based Molecular Gels as Ligands for Autocatalytic 'Click' Reactions.
TLDR
The catalytic performance of triazolyl-based molecular gels was investigated in the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of alkynes and azides and the influence of small structural changes on their performance was observed.
Multi-stimuli-responsive organometallic gels based on ferrocene-linked poly(aryl ether) dendrons: reversible redox switching and Pb2+-ion sensing.
TLDR
Results indicate that the flexible nature of the poly(aryl ether) dendron framework plays a key role in retaining the reversible electrochemical behavior of ferrocene moiety in the low-molecular-weight gelators.

Structural characterization and chemical response of a Ag-coordinated supramolecular gel.
TLDR
Of interest is that the organogel exhibits a 3-D network structure of a beltlike fiber composed of ordered lamellar arrangements of the coordinated complex and shows a rapid response to wide chemical stimulations such as anions I-, Br-, and Cl-, gases such as H(2)S and NH(3), and a change of pH.

Small anions can be used to modulate the physical properties of supramolecular gels by interacting with the low-molecular-weight gelators from which such materials are composed, and a better understanding will aid in the rational design of responsive gels that may prove useful for a number of practical applications.
