The copolymer-metal complex showed high sensitivity to the solvent system. Different morphologies and dimensions of the rhenium complex within nanosized micelles were controlled by changing the solvent systems. Core-embedded rhenium complex within micelles appear by adding methanol, a poor solvent for the copolymer-metal complex, to the solution of common solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF); the number of the core-embedded rhenium complex and the scale of the micelles are strongly related to the addition of methanol. Moreover, a novel morphology of corona-embedded rhenium complex micelles was prepared by dropping the original THF solution of copolymer-metal complex into water at a low pH value.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1002/polb.21539} (DOI).
