Abstract

In the search of new functional templating agents for the construction of mesostructured materials, the study of the behaviour in water and F127–water mixture of a new ionic Ir(III) liquid crystalline complex is reported. The complex was solubilized in the water medium using tetrahydrofuran as the co-solvent. The resulting mixtures were completely characterized by rheological techniques and photophysical comprehensive investigations. The position of the chromophore inside the micelles formed by F127 in water was successfully detected and moreover, a displacement towards the polar corona with increasing concentrations of the Ir(III) complex was observed.
