Fluorescent Organic Dyes and Conjugated Polymers in Nanoscale Ensembles

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Introduction to Fluorescence Sensing

Abstract

This chapter provides comparative analysis of properties of different organic nanoscale materials to absorb and emit visual and near-IR light with the focus on their applications in sensing and imaging technologies. These new materials are diverse. Strongly emissive nanoparticles can be formed of organic or inorganic polymers incorporating organic dyes. In dendrimers they can be attached covalently and in well-defined manner in the desired sites. Collective excitonic effects appear when the aromatic units are arranged in definite order in nanoparticles and also in conjugated polymers. The H- and J-aggregates formed in these structures generate delocalized excitons that possess the spectroscopic properties dramatically different from that of single or disorderly assembled dye molecules. Exciton diffusion can be realized easily in these nanoparticles. Operating with these collective features one may design materials of unprecedented brightness and versatility for amplified sensing and ultra-bright imaging.
