✦ Synopsis
Ionic self-assembly of the azobenzene dye Orange G with the surfactant tetradecylammonium bromide leads to the title compound, 2C 17 H 38 N + ÁC 16 H 10 N 2 O 7 S 2 2À Á1.8H 2 O, which has an unusual highly regular nanostructure with ionic layers and with alternating dye and surfactant stacks. Some of those complexes based on azobenzene dyes (Faul & Antonietti, 2002;Guan et al., 2002) form unexpectedly large crystalline and liquid-crystalline domains. It was suggested that the high molecular order observed from small-angle
