Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) of different sizes have been prepared by Lee and Meisel’s method using trisodium citrate as reducing agent under ultra sonication. Optical absorption and fluorescence emission techniques were employed to investigate the interaction of 1,4-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethyl anthracene-9,10-dione (DHDMAD) with silver nanoparticles. In fluorescence spectroscopic study, we used the DHDMAD and Ag NPs as component molecules for construction of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), whereas DHDMAD serve as donor and Ag NPs as acceptor. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak of the prepared silver colloidal solution was observed from 419 nm to 437 nm. The synthesized silver nanoparticles at different heating time intervals were spherical in shape about the size of 25 nm and 55 nm. The fluorescence interaction between silver nanoparticles and DHDMAD confirms the FRET mechanism. According to Förster theory, the distance between silver nanoparticles and DHDMAD and the critical energy transfer distance were calculated and it is increase with heating time.
