Terpyridylplatinum(II)-based metallosupramolecular triblock copolymers with hydrophilic alkynyl ligands have been synthesised and characterised. As a result of the intrinsic properties of Pluronics, reversible temperature-induced micellisation occurred at high temperature leading to aggregation of the platinum(II) complex moieties through Pt⋅⋅⋅Pt and π-π interactions, resulting in significant UV/Vis absorption and near-infrared (NIR) emission spectral changes. The critical micelle temperatures of the complexes were found to vary from 21 to 30 °C due to differences in the hydrophilicity of the alkynyl ligands and the electrostatic repulsions between the positively charged platinum(II) complex moieties.
