- Description
- Core–shell CdTe@ZnS quantum dots capped with glutathione (CdTe@ZnS–GSH) were covalently linked to zinc octacarboxy phthalocyanine (ZnPc(COOH)8). The conjugate was characterized by UV/Vis, infrared and X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopies as well as transmission electron and atomic force microscopies. The fluorescence quantum yields of the core CdTe capped with thioglycolic acid increased upon formation of the core-shell. Upon conjugation with ZnPc(COOH)8, the fluorescence quantum yield of CdTe@ZnS–GSH decreased due to energy transfer from the latter to the Pc. The average fluorescence lifetime of the CdTe@ZnS–GSH QD also decreased upon conjugation from 26.2 to 13.3 ns.
