摘要
NiCl2 center dot 6H(2)O, in the presence of a wide range of amines, forms a green gel in protic solvents. UV-Vis studies indicate the initial formation of a square planar species which is transformed into tetrahedral or octahedral components. Theoretical studies indicate the presence of cis-Ni(OMe)(2)( MeOH)(4) as one of the major components of the gel. This study reveals that metallogel formation does not necessarily require synthetically designed ligands with pre-defined coordination sites.
