Coordinated water molecules induce the aggregation and self-assembly of the lyotropic liquid crystalline phase formed from non-ionic surfactants C H (CH CH O) OH and transition metal aqua complexes ([Ni(H O) ](NO ) , [Co(H O) ](NO ) , [Zn(H O) ](NO ) , [Cd(H O) ](NO ) , and [Co(H O) ]Cl ) into hexagonal and/or cubic structures. While the Ni and Co complexes undergo recrystallization and phase separation at high complex concentrations, the Zn and Cd complexes form cubic phases above metal/surfactant molar ratios of 3.2/1 at room temperature.
