A copper metal-organic hydrogel (MOG) has been synthesized using an amino acid-based ligand, Na 2 HL {H 3 L = 2-{(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)amino succinic acid} as a gelator. The metallohydrogel exhibits pH-responsive nature as well as chemical responsiveness. Besides, it shows rapid thixotropic behavior when external mechanical forces are ap- [a]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
