Abstract
Hybrid nanostructures comprising ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs) and Fréchet type dendrons of first (G1) and second (G2) generations bearing two and four pyrene units, respectively, and a carboxylic acid group as an anchoring function, have been prepared by taking advantage of the organometallic approach and ligand exchange. Their optical properties have been studied by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies and compared with those of counterparts prepared in the same conditions but with pyreneacetic acid and pyrenebutyric acid as fluorophores. Pyrene-labelled Fréchet type dendrons display more pyrene units at a longer distance from the Ru surface than pyreneacetic acid and pyrenebutyric acid fluorophores. Interestingly, and unlike pyreneacetic acid- and pyrenebutyric acid-derived nanohybrids, the dendron-functionalized Ru NPs exhibit significant to efficient quenching of the pyrene fluorescence (67% for G2 and 94% for G1 with respect to the free dendrons). The quenching effect of the Ru metallic cores onto the fluorophore units opens up new prospects for the use of such nanohybrids as antennas for photocatalytic applications.
