The structure and phase behavior of the complexes were examined by IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy, and small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering. This class of materials shows a number of interesting physicochemical properties, namely liquid-crystalline phases (both thermotropic and lyotropic) and strong photoluminescence. The photophysical behavior (fluorescence spectra, fluorescence lifetimes, fluorescence quantum yield) of the complexes differs widely in solid powders, films, and solutions. The amphiphilic cationic surfactants not only play a structural role but also have a strong influence on the photophysical properties of E. The photophysical behavior of E can in this way be easily modified by its organizational motifs}, language = {en} } @article{vonSeggernModrakowskiSpitzetal.2004, author = {von Seggern, David and Modrakowski, Claudia and Spitz, Christian and Schl{\"u}ter, A.
