Dinuclear alkynylplatinum(II) metallofoldamers with an oligomeric m-phenyleneethynylene backbone have been designed with the incorporation of a sterically undemanding, π-conjugated, and hydrophobic 2,6-bis(N-dodecylbenzimidazol-2'-yl)pyridine pincer ligand. The complex with the optimal chain length has been found to exhibit gelation behavior via stabilization by noncovalent Pt···Pt and π-π stacking
