Fully transient, mussel‐inspired hydrogels are supramolecular networks where polymers are crosslinked by reversible, metal‐ligand coordination bonds. In article number 2100319, Niels Holten‐Andersen, Jonathan T. Pham, and co‐workers demonstrate an inverse correlation between tris‐ coordinate crosslinks and peak adhesive stress for hydrogels comprising either histidine‐Ni 2+ ion crosslinks or nitrodopamine‐Fe 3+ ion crosslinks. This exhibits tunability of supramolecular hydrogels for soft materials and interfacial applications.
