Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of a new self-assembled VO<sub>2</sub>-L metallogel. Multi-responsive properties of the gel were also studied and can be used for sensing OH<sup>−</sup> anions. Bromoperoxidase-like activity of VO<sub>2</sub>-L metallogel for oxidative bromination reaction was also reported.
