- Description
- This work reports on the synthesis of new coreshell quantum dots (QDs)-low symmetry phthalocyanines conjugates. The energy transfer from QDs (donor) to phthalocyanines (acceptor) was investigated when the two are mixed together or chemically linked to each other. Ti monocarboxy phthalocyanine QDs-linked and Sn monocarboxy phthalocyanine QDs-linked gave the smallest centre-to-centre separation distance (r) corresponding to their higher Förster resonance energy transfer efficiencies which are estimated at 0.76 and 0.85 respectively. Higher energy transfer behaviour was achieved for all the covalently linked conjugates compared to their corresponding mixed counterparts. An improvement in triplet quantum yields and lifetimes was achieved for all the complexes in the presence of quantum dots, with the linked counterparts displaying excellent triplet state behaviour.
