Fluorescence quenching of N,N-bis(2,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-3,4:9,10-perylenebis(dicarboximide) (DBPI) by silver nanoparticles
文摘
The interaction of a perylene derivative namely N,N-bis(2,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-3,4:9,10-perylenebis(dicarboximide) (DBPI) with colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was studied in ethanol and ethylene glycol using steady state fluorescence quenching measurements. The Stern-Volmer quenching rate constant (Ksv) was calculated as 4.03脳109 and 29.14脳109 M鈭? in ethanol and ethylene glycol, respectively. From fluorescence quenching data, static quenching and energy transfer play a major role in the fluorescence quenching of DBPI by AgNPs. The apparent association constant (kapp) was calculated as 1.26脳108 M鈭? in EtOH and 1.83脳109 M鈭? in ethylene glycol. Due to potential AgNPs interaction with DBPI, the average AgNPs size is increased slightly from ~37.1 nm (As-prepared) to 48.9 nm.
