Multimodal fluorescence modulation using molecular photoswitches and upconverting nanoparticles

Abstract

The intensity and colour of the light emitted from upconverting nanoparticles is controlled by the state of photoresponsive dithienylethene ligands decorated onto the surface of the nanoparticles. By selectively activating one or both ligands in a mixed, 3-component system, a multimodal read-out of the emitted light is achieved.
