title: Metallogels through glyme coordination.
abstract: Glyme intercalation in copper-thiolate polymers is studied. The amorphous polymer network observed is significantly stronger than previously reported coinage metal-thiolate supramolecular hydrogels synthesized without glyme. Glyme chain length and water content strongly influence mechanical and optical behavior.
