A thermoreversible supramolecular hydrogel based on a silver(I) alkanethiolate bearing terminal N,N-dimethylamide groups has been prepared, which is inspired by poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA). This demonstrates the possibility of designing supramolecular hydrogels inspired on conventional polymers, through the self-assembly of the corresponding mercapto-modified monomers promoted by the addition of a Ag(I) salt.
