摘要
The effect of linker chain length on the energy transfer from CdSe quantum dots (QDs) to silicon phthalocyanine (Pc) photodynamic therapy agents was investigated by steady-state and femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy with 500 nm light for the specific excitation of the QD energy donor. The conjugation between the QD and the Pc was achieved with linker chains varying from 4 to 9 bond lengths by incorporating 1-6 methylene groups into the axial ligand of the Pc. With increasing chain length, the energy-transfer efficiency increased, which appears to be opposed to a purely Förster-type resonance energy-transfer behavior that is commonly discussed for the energy transfer in QD conjugates. The obtained results provide strong evidence for a capping-layer-mediated energy transfer in the QD-based donor-acceptor conjugates. Copyright © 2006 American Chemical Society.
