A stable metal coordination polymer gel based on a calix[4]arene and its 'uptake' of non-ionic organic molecules from the aqueous phase.
Here we report a coordination polymer based, stable organogel (termed 'metallogel' to emphasize the essential role of metal-ligand bonding during the gelation), which 'uptakes' neutral organic molecules from the aqueous phase.
