Tuneable luminescence and morphology of an amphiphilic platinum(ii) complex via the incorporation of a cationic surfactant†
Abstract
A new amphiphilic platinum(II) complex containing a quaternary ammonium group had been synthesized successfully. Of interest is that its monomer and excimer emission could be systematically controlled by the incorporation of a cationic surfactant, which led to a morphological transformation from fibers to ribbons then to sheets.
