Abstract:

Luminescent nanoparticles (dav=35 nm) of Eu(tta)3dpbt (dpbt= 2-(N,N-diethylanilin-4-yl)-4,6-bis (3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine, tta=thenoyltrifluoroacetonato) protected by bovine serum albumin (BSA) were prepared by a precipitation method. These particles disperse well in aqueous solutions to form stable and transparent colloidal solutions. The BSA-protected Eu(tta)3dpbt nanoparticles exhibit high photostability and excellent long-wavelength sensitized EuIII luminescence properties. The quantum yield of EuIII luminescence is 0.20 (λex=415 nm, 25 ℃), and the excitation band for the EuIII luminescence centers at 415 nm and extends to 470 nm. Upon two-photon excitation, the prepared nanoparticles emit pure-red light with a two-photon excitation action cross section of 2.4×105 GM (λex=830 nm, 1 GM=10-50 cm4·s·photo-1·particle-1). The prepared nanoparticles and the reported preparation method are promising for the development of luminescent bionanoprobes with excellent biocompatibility and luminescent properties.
