• Analyzed diffusion properties of rod-like particles.
• Compared findings with classical Stokes-Einstein relation.
• Utilized various complex fluid models for evaluation.
• Diffusion rates were slower than predicted by Stokes-Einstein.
• Particle interactions significantly altered diffusion behavior.
• Advanced models better describe particle movement in complex media.
