Pathway dependence is common in self-assembly. Herein, the importance of pathway dependence for redox-driven gels is shown by constructing a Fe<sup>II</sup> /Fe<sup>III</sup> redox-based metal-organic gel system is shown. In situ oxidation of the Fe<sup>II</sup> ions at different rates results in conversion of a Fe<sup>II</sup> gel into a Fe<sup>III</sup> organic gel, which controls the material properties, such as gel stiffness, gel strength, and an unusual swelling behaviour, is described.
