Rational design and synthesis of a new low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) having 9,10-diphenylanthracene core and terminal terpyridine is reported. Tb-III and Eu-III ion coordination to a LMWG results in green and pink emissive coordination polymer gels, respectively, with coiled nano-fiber morphology. Further, control over stoichiometry of LMWG: Tb-III: Eu-III leads to yellow and white light emitting bimetallic gels.
