Solvent-resolved fluorescent Ag nanocrystals capped with a novel terpyridine-based dye

Abstract

By using a novel terpyridine-based dye as a surface stabilizing agent, novel dye-capped Ag nanocrystals (NCs) were obtained. The growth dynamics of these dye-capped Ag NCs were monitored by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Interactions between the dye and the Ag NCs were investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The dye-capped Ag NCs showed solvent-resolved fluorescence in organic solvents, with full width at half-maximums (FWHM) as wide as ∼100 nm, demonstrating the effect of the Ag NCs on the enhanced fluorescence of the capping dye.
