Photoluminescent Energy Transfer from Poly(phenyleneethynylene)s to Near-Infrared Emitting Fluorophores
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photoluminescent energy transfer was investigated in conjugated polymer-fluorophore blended thin films. A pentiptycene-containing poly(phenyleneethynylene) was used as the energy donor, and 13 fluorophores were used as energy acceptors. The efficiency of energy transfer was measured by monitoring both the quenching of the polymer emission Page 1 of 57 ScholarOne, 375 Greenbrier Drive, Charlottesville, VA, 22901 Journal of Polymer Science Part A: Polymer Chemistry

De novo synthesis of phenolic dihydroxanthene near-infrared emitting fluorophores.
We report a flexible de novo synthesis of phenolic dihydroxanthene fluorophores. The synthesis relies on a one-pot formation of an aldehyde intermediate which can be diversified in 60-70% overall yield, providing an efficient access to this family of near-infrared emitting fluorophores.
متن کاملPreparation and bioapplication of high-quality, water-soluble, biocompatible, and near-infrared-emitting CdSeTe alloyed quantum dots.
A facile method is developed for the preparation of high-quality, water-soluble, and near-infrared (NIR)-emitting CdSeTe alloyed quantum dots (AQdots) with L-cysteine as the capping agent. By changing the size and the composition of AQdots the photoluminescent quantum yield (QY) can reach as high as 53% and the emission color can be tuned between visible and NIR regions (580-814 nm). Furthermor...
متن کاملRadiative Decay Engineering
Metallic surfaces can have unusual effects on fluorophores such as increasing or decreasing the rates of radiative decay and the rates of resonance energy transfer (RET). In the present article we describe the effects of metallic silver island films on the emission spectra, lifetimes, and energy transfer for several fluorophores. The fluorophores are not covalently coupled to the silver islands...
متن کاملTetrastyryl-BODIPY-based dendritic light harvester and estimation of energy transfer efficiency.
Versatile BODIPY dyes can be transformed into bright near-IR-emitting fluorophores by quadruple styryl substitutions. When clickable functionalities on the styryl moieties are inserted, an efficient synthesis of a light harvester is possible. In addition, clear spectral evidence is presented showing that, in dendritic light harvesters, calculations commonly based on quantum yield or emission li...
متن کاملFörster resonance energy transfer: Role of diffusion of fluorophore orientation and separation in observed shifts of FRET efficiency
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a widely used single-molecule technique for measuring nanoscale distances from changes in the non-radiative transfer of energy between donor and acceptor fluorophores. For macromolecules and complexes this observed transfer efficiency is used to infer changes in molecular conformation under differing experimental conditions. However, sometimes shifts ...
