中文摘要：

近年来,超分子凝胶已逐渐发展为一类具有广阔应用前景的智能/功能性纳米材料。目前研究的大部分超分子凝胶利用的是氢键或者分子堆积作用,而配位键这一在超分子化学中同样重要的作用在凝胶合成上的应用则远远不足。由于引入金属离子后能够给凝胶带来光电、催化、氧化还原等新的性能,因此超分子金属凝胶的研究也在近年来得到升温。本文首先给出超分子金属凝胶的定义,接着通过实例具体介绍基于凝胶因子和配位聚合物两种形式的超分子金属凝胶,将分子结构特别是其中的配体基团、所用金属离子和凝胶的性质、功能联系起来,最后简介异常的超分子金属凝胶行为。

英文摘要：

Supramolecular gels have evolved into a class of smart /functional nanomaterials with extensive application potentials recently.Most supramolecular gels studied today employ hydrogen bonding or molecular stacking as the driving force for gelation.Despite the major role that metal coordination plays in supramolecular chemistry,the use of metal-ligand interactions in the area of supramolecular gels has been somewhat neglected until very recently.Supramolecular gels including metal ions can capitalize on the unique richness of the attributes of metal ions such as photo-electronic,catalytic,redox,which stimulates research in this area.In this review,the basic concepts of metallogels are first given,and then detailed examples are presented to relate the molecular structures especially the complexing groups,metal ions used to the properties and functions of the gels,which are divided into two categories：gelator based metallogels and coordination polymer gels.Moreover,abnormal gelation behaviors in metallogels will be briefed.
