Small molecule gels with different stimuli responsiveness are endowed with different characteristics. Due to the reversibility of non-covalent bond forces and the adjustability of the self-assembly process, small molecule gels are widely used as an intelligent soft material prospect. Here, we designed and synthesized a novel gelator, stigmasteryl glycinate ferrocenoylamide (SGF), which uses plant sterols as raw materials and has multi-stimulus response performance. The gelation behavior of SGF was investigated in different solvents. The properties and mechanism of self-assembly of gels were characterized by SEM, UV-VIS, FT-IR, CAT and XRD. The intermolecular hydrogen bond nature of the gel formation and the lamellar aggregation pattern of SGF gel are revealed. Interestingly, SGF/cyclohexane gel shows excellent responsiveness to a variety of external stimuli such as temperature, thixotropic force and redox. In particular, SGF has a specific recognition ability for methanol.

具有不同刺激响应性的小分子凝胶具有不同的特性。由于非共价键力的可逆性和自组装过程的可调节性，小分子凝胶被广泛用作智能软材料的前景。在这里，我们设计和合成了一种新型的胶凝剂，甘草酸的豆蔻甾酸二茂铁铁酰胺（SGF），它以植物甾醇为原料，具有多种刺激反应性能。研究了SGF在不同溶剂中的胶凝行为。通过SEM，UV-VIS，FT-IR，CAT和XRD对凝胶的自组装性能和机理进行了表征。揭示了凝胶形成的分子间氢键性质和SGF凝胶的层状聚集模式。有趣的是 SGF /环己烷凝胶对各种外部刺激（例如温度，触变力和氧化还原）表现出出色的响应性。特别地，SGF对甲醇具有特定的识别能力。
