Correlation of photobleaching, oxidation and metal induced fluorescence quenching of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-04-07)Few-atom noble metal nanoclusters have attracted a lot of interest due to their potential applications in biosensor development, imaging and catalysis. DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) are of particular interest ... -
DNA templated fluorescent gold nanoclusters reduced by Good’s buffer: from blue emitting seeds to red and near infrared emitters
(NRC Research Press, 2015-01-22)DNA-templated fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been recently prepared showing higher photostability than the silver counterpart. In this work, we examined the effect of pH, DNA length, DNA sequence, and reducing ... -
Light-Activated Metal-Coordinated Supramolecular Complexes with Charge-Directed Self-Assembly
(American Chemical Society, 2013-02-21)Metal-coordinated materials are attractive for many applications including catalysis, sensing, and controlled release. Adenine and its derivatives have been widely used to generate many coordination complexes, polymers, ... -
Towards understanding of poly-guanine activated fluorescent silver nanoclusters
(Institute of Physics, 2014-03-18)It has been recently reported that the fluorescence of some DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) can be significantly enhanced upon by hybridizing with a partially complementary DNA containing a G-rich overhang near ...
