Surface Complexation-Based Biocompatible Magnetofluorescent Nanoprobe for Targeted Cellular Imaging

Abstract: We report the synthesis of a magnetofluorescent biocompatible nanoprobe-following room temperature complexation reaction between Fe3O4-ZnS nanocomposite and 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ). The composite nanoprobe exhibited high luminescence quantum yield, low rate of photobleaching, reasonable excited-state lifetime, luminescence stability especially in human blood serum, superparamagnetism and no apparent cytotoxicity. Moreover, the nanoprobe could be used for spatio-controlled cell labeling in the presence of an ex… Show more

“…This may be due to the static quenching process occurring between the Qdot and surface complex, where Zn(QS) 2 complex acts as a quencher to the dopant emission of Qdot . It is to be mentioned here that, there is an overlapping region between the emission spectrum of surface Zn(QS) 2 and absorption spectrum of Qdot, which may create the possibility of energy transfer between the two species …”

“…[42][43][44] On the other hand, the inter-QDC spacing would depend on the geometry of the complex on the surface. Our earlier observations indicated the formation of an octahedral complex, [31][32][33]43] which would make the inter particle separation shorter in comparison to other arrangements of ligand attachment on the surface. Hence, we anticipate that the reduction in hole mobility and relatively better electron transport in QDC-TFT is because of attachment of HQS ligand to the surface of Qdot in a geometry similar to HQ, i.e., octahedral.…”
