Abstract:
Four multiresponsive and self-sustaining metallogels were synthesized by the reaction of the disodium salt of the ligand carboxymethyl-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-benzyl)amino acetic acid with Cd(II) and Zn(II) halides, which were found to show excellent selectivity for dye adsorption and separation, and one of the gels shows a rare self-healing property.
