“…[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] Inspired by our earlier work on self-assembled multiporphyrin arrays [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] we have elaborated the experimental approach in the direct labelling of trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO)-and amino (AM) -capped semiconductor quantum dots (QD) CdSe/ZnS with functional ligands (dyes) of two types (pyridyl substituted porphyrins and heterocyclic pyridyl functionalized perylene diimide molecules) in liquid solutions and polymeric matrixes. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] We have shown that depending on redox and electronic properties of interacting subunits as well as anchoring groups (connecting organic and inorganic counterparts) the formation of "QD-Dye" nanocomposites allows for a controlled realization of mutually relative (spatial) orientations and electronic energy scales in order to optimize intended photoinduced processes such as charge transfer, [56,57] fluorescence Foerster energy transfer (FRET) [20,46,47,50,52] or electron tunnelling in the conditions of quantum confinement (non-FRET process). [48,50,53] Typically, all these processes lead to the pronounced quenching of QD photoluminescence (PL) in nanocomposites that may be used as an indicator of complex interface phenomena selectively depending on attached ligands (porphyrins, perylene diimides, etc.…”

Dye molecules with pyridyl side substituents (porphyrins and heterocyclic perylene diimides) coordinatively attached to semiconductor CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) surface form quasi-stable "QD-Dye" nanocomposites of various geometry in the competition with capping molecules (tri-n-octyl phosphine oxide or long chain amines) exchange. This results in photoluminescence (PL) quenching of the QDs both due to Foerster resonance energy transfer and formation of non-radiative surface states. QD surface is inhomogeneous with respect to the involved attachment and detachment processes. The formation of "QD-Porphyrin" nanocomposites is realized at least two time scales (60 and 600 s), which is attributed to a reorganisation of tri-n-octylphosphine oxide capping shell. In a low temperature range of 220÷240 K related changes in QD absorption and emission reveal a phase transition of the capping shell (tri-n-octyl phosphine oxide and amine). In "QD-Dye" nanocomposites, this phase transition is enhanced considerably by only a few attached

Quantum-dot/dopamine bioconjugates function as redox coupled assemblies for in vitro and intracellular pH sensing

The use of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) for bioimaging and sensing has progressively matured over the past decade. QDs are highly sensitive to charge-transfer processes, which can alter their optical properties. Here, we demonstrate that QD-dopamine-peptide bioconjugates can function as charge-transfer coupled pH sensors. Dopamine is normally characterized by two intrinsic redox properties: a Nernstian dependence of formal potential on pH and oxidation of hydroquinone to quinone by O(2) at basic pH. We show that the latter quinone can function as an electron acceptor quenching QD photoluminescence in a manner that depends directly on pH. We characterize the pH-dependent QD quenching using both electrochemistry and spectroscopy. QD-dopamine conjugates were also used as pH sensors that measured changes in cytoplasmic pH as cells underwent drug-induced alkalosis. A detailed mechanism describing the QD quenching processes that is consistent with dopamine's inherent redox chemistry is presented.
