	abstract = {<p>Oxalic acid has been proven to be the lowest molecular weight organic ligand able to form robust supramolecular metallogel networks in the presence of metal salts. In particular, two novel multifunctional metallogels were readily prepared at room temperature by simple mixing of stock solutions of Cu-II acetate monohydrate or Cu-II perchlorate hexahydrate and oxalic acid dihydrate. Formation of different polymorphs and unprecedented proton conduction under anhydrous conditions were also demonstrated with some of these materials.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (\&lt;10 nm in size) have been successfully synthesized in situ without any capping agent in a Zn(II)-based low-molecular-weight metallohydrogel (ZAVA). Pristine ZAVA hydrogel shows blue luminescence, but the emission can be tuned upon encapsulation of the CdS quantum dots. Time-dependent tunable emission (white to yellow to orange) of the CdS incubated gel (CdS@ZAVA gel) can be attributed to sluggish growth of the quantum dots inside the gel matrix. Once CdS quantum dots are entrapped, their augmentation can be stopped by converting the gel into xerogel, wherein the quantum dots remains embedded in the solid xerogel matrix. Similar size stabilization of CdS quantum dots can be achieved by means of a unique room-temperature conversion of the CdS incubated ZAVA gel to CdS incubated MOF (CdS@ZAVCl) crystals. This in turn arrests the tunability in emission owing to the restriction in the growth of CdS quantum dots inside xerogel and MOF. These CdS embedded MOFs have been utilized as a catalyst for water splitting under visible light.</p>},
