Temperature Dependence of Triplet–Triplet Annihilation Upconversion in Phospholipid Membranes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Understanding the temperature dependency of triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) is important for optimizing biological applications of upconversion. Here the temperature dependency of red-to-blue TTA-UC is reported in a variety of neutral PEGylated phospholipid liposomes. In these systems a delicate balance between lateral diffusion rate of the dyes, annihilator aggregation, and sensitizer self-quenching leads to a volcano plot, with the maximum upconversion intensity occurring near the main order-disorder transition temperature of the lipid membrane.

Light upconverting soft particles: triplet–triplet annihilation in the phospholipid bilayer of self-assembled vesicles
Large unilamellar vesicles (100 nm) were functionalised to obtain supramolecular particles capable of light upconversion in pure aqueous media. Triplet–triplet annihilation of diphenylanthracene (DPA) leading to delayed fluorescence at 420 nm was used to upconvert the light absorbed by embedded metal complex sensitisers. The lipid type and the chromophore position in the membrane affect the TTA...
متن کاملRed-light-absorbing diimine Pt(II) bisacetylide complexes showing near-IR phosphorescence and long-lived 3IL excited state of Bodipy for application in triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion.
Bodipy is used for the preparation of Pt(II) bisacetylide complexes which show strong absorption of visible light and long-lived triplet state. Room temperature (RT) near-IR phosphorescence of Bodipy was observed. The π-conjugation framework of visible light-harvesting Bodipy ligand was connected to the Pt(II) center by the C≡C bond. The complexes were used as triplet photosensitizers for tripl...

A dbbpy platinum(II) bis(coumarin acetylide) complex (Pt-1, dbbpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine) was prepared. Pt-1 shows intense absorption in the visible region (λ(abs) = 412 nm, ε = 3.23 × 10(4) M(-1) cm(-1)) compared to the model complex dbbpy Pt(II) bis(phenylacetylide) (Pt-2, λ(abs) = 424 nm, ε = 8.8 × 10(3) M(-1) cm(-1)). Room temperature phosphorescence was observed for Pt-1 ((3)...
متن کاملTriplet-triplet annihilation upconversion followed by FRET for the red light activation of a photodissociative ruthenium complex in liposomes.
Upconversion is a promising way to trigger high-energy photochemistry with low-energy photons. However, combining upconversion schemes with non-radiative energy transfer is challenging because bringing several photochemically active components in close proximity results in complex multi-component systems where quenching processes may deactivate the whole assembly. In this work, PEGylated liposo...
