The invention provides a gel factor and gel formed from the same. The gel factor has a molecular formula: C40H61N5O14. The invention also discloses the gel factor and a preparation method of molecular gel formed from the same. The gel factor provided herein enables water, benzene, methylbenzene or ethyl acetate to be gelatinized by external actions such as heating, cooling or ultrasonic induction or changing pH value under a low concentration of 0.8-2% by weight, the molecular gel that is gelatinized may be reversed between solution state and gel state through external actions of heating and cooling, and the molecular gel has potential application value in terms of catalysis, chemical sensing, drug delivery, separation of chiral compound special-effect color media, preparation of special-shaped nano materials and the like.
