title: Transition metal ion induced hydrogelation by amino-terpyridine ligands.
abstract: Hydrogelation behavior of two amino-terpyridine ligands in the presence of divalent metal ions in water was studied in detail. The effect of ligand structure and different counter anions on the gel morphologies was also explored.
