Abstract: A novel supramolecular hydrogel was prepared by utilizing the host-guest interaction between 6-deoxy-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin(β-CDNH2) and N,N′-bis(ferrocenyl-methylene)diaminobutane(FBI) in an aqueous phase. The phase state of the hydrogel is sensitive to the changes of temperature and pH. Furthermore, introduction of a chemical oxidant, (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6, resulted in dissolution of the gel, and correspondingly the color of the system changed from light yellow to dark green. SEM measurements reveal that the network structure of the hydrogel is characterized by belt-like fibers. It is the fibers that intertwine into 3-dimensional networks. 1H NMR, FTIR, CV, and XRD studies demonstrate that the host-guest interaction between FBI and β-CDNH2, and the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between β-CDNH2 are the main driving forces for the formation of the gel.
