Abstract A novel type of ligands contained 1,4,7,10-tetrazacyclododecane and functionalized by two azobenzene moieties grafted with two alkyl chains was designed and synthesized. The ligands with long alkyl chains can form metallogels in the presence of Zn²⁺ cations. The formation of metallogel was followed by NMR and electronic spectral detection. The morphology of the xerogels is varied with the equivalent of Zn²⁺ cations and the concentration of the gel. Spectral and structural analysis indicated that the driving forces of the gel formation were attributed to intermolecular hydrophobic interactions between alkyl chains and π-π interaction between azobenzenes.
