Schematic representation of metal-ligand complex at different stages in the presence of cationic surfactant. (a) Neutralized complex in bulk solution, (b) symbolic representation of electrostatically neutralized complex, (c) incorporation of metal-ligand complex into the hydrophobic core of micelle, and (d) agglomeration of the complex entrapped micelles to form the tubular or rod-like structures.
