A 5-(difluorenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline-based Ru(ii) complex as a coating agent for potential multifunctional gold nanoparticles

Abstract

The synthesis and photophysical properties of small gold nanoparticles (NPs, AuNP-[Ru-PFF]) surface functionalized by 5-substituted-1,10-phenanthroline-ligand based Ru(II) complexes are described. Luminescence of the grafted and confined Ru(II) complexes is totally quenched on the gold surface. Nonlinear optical properties were determined via Z-scan measurements in the range 600–1300 nm for both the free Ru(II) complex and the related NPs. In the short wavelength range (around 600 nm) the behaviour switches from that of two-photon absorption (2PA) for the complex to saturable absorption for the NPs. 2PA applications such as optical power limiting or two-photon dioxygen sensitization can be anticipated for these nanoplatforms.
