Tuning Emission Properties of Iridium and Ruthenium Metallosurfactants in Micellar Systems

Abstract
Ruthenium metallosurfactant forms micelles that show efficient electronic energy-transfer processes in the presence of an analogous iridium complex. Modulation of the process is achieved upon incorporation of these amphiphiles into cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles, allowing a tuning of the two emissions.
