The gelation ability of 5-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-yl)isophthalic acid (click-TIA) in the presence of different metal acetates has been studied in different solvents and ligand/metal ratios. This manuscript is focused on the metallogel obtained from the combination of click-TIA and copper(II) acetate, which has been used as a model system in terms of characterization and gelation studies. Sonication treatment of the initial mixture of compounds and the nature of the counter anion were found to be critical factors for the supramolecular assembly of the metal/click-TIA complexes and, hence, for the formation of stable and homogeneous metallogels. The gel materials have been characterized with a variety of techniques including infrared, rheology, UV-vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy.
