Teaching an old dog new tricks : Ferrocene–dipeptide conjugates capable of forming gels in response to various external signals including sound, thermal, redox, and mechanical stress are reported (see figure). Interesting examples of how ferrocene–peptide conjugates can be exploited for the construction of organometallic gelators are demonstrated.
