    Abstract

    Soft matter with a hard core: Through PtII PtII and hydrophobic interactions, planar organoplatinum(II) cations with chloride or sulfate as counterions self-organize themselves in water into red-emissive, chromonic, and viscoelastic mesophases from which aligned films and discrete uniaxial microfibers with cofacial molecular orientations can be readily prepared. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
