Triphenylamine‐functionalized boron 2‐(2′‐pyridyl)imidazole complex bearing no alkyl chains or H‐bond unit was found to be able to gelate a series of solvents, and the balanced intermolecular π–π interactions play an important role in its supramolecular self‐assembly. The gelator molecule is piezochromic, and the dried gel responded to pressure more sensitively than regular crystalline powder.
