Phosphorescent and semiconductive fiber-like micelles formed by platinum(<scp>ii</scp>) complexes and block copolymers

Abstract

The electrostatic self-assembly of cationic platinum(<sc>ii</sc>) complexes with negatively charged block copolymers in water leads to the formation of fiber-like micelles with a platinum(<sc>ii</sc>)-based ionic core surrounded by a poly(ethylene oxide) corona, which exhibit intense phosphorescent emissions and appreciable conductivity.
