Two-component supramolecular metallogels with the presence of Pt–Pt metal–metal interactions†
Abstract
Two-component supramolecular metallogels have been successfully constructed with the involvement of heteromeric Pt(II)⋯Pt(II) metal–metal interactions, which display low-energy emissions in the near-infrared region. We demonstrate and rationalize how the gel stability can be increased by modulating the gelation solvent as well as the crosslinking unit.
