Abstract: Four types of aromatic carboxylic acid compounds (CDCn (n=4, 6, 8, 10)) containing cholesterol groups were synthesized in this work, and their gelation properties in different solvents were tested. Moreover, the gelation abilities of the compounds consisted of these four compounds and Tb3+/Eu3+ were also tested in different solvents. CDCn could form supramolecular gels in DMF/H2O and DMSO/H2O mixed solvents. And also, CDCn with Tb3+/Eu3+could formed metallogels in these two mixed solvents. SEM measurement revealed that the micromorpho-logy of the organogel was completely changed by coordination interaction. FTIR measurements demonstrated that there was the coordination interaction between CDCn and Tb3+/Eu3+ in metallogels. The rheological measurement indicated that the introduction of metal ions dramatically improved the strength of supramolecular gels and the formed metallogels had the excellent reversible thixotropic property.
