Further the role of counter anions of different Zn(II)-salts has been critically analysed (Figure ). The MCG protocol as adopted for the formation of Zn-PMA metallogel in DMF solvent was separately employed for unveiling the role of diverse Zn(II)-salts with different counter anions like chloride, sulphate in preparing stable metallogel of pyromellitic acid in DMF solvent media. For these three attempts it was found that no metallogel was generated.
