Photophysical Properties of SWNT Interfaced with DNA

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Photophysics of Carbon Nanotubes Interfaced with Organic and Inorganic Materials

Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to photophysical properties of SWNTs on the surface of which such very important biological molecule as a DNA was adsorbed. This unique polymer can solubilize carbon nanotubes, occur separation of certain nanotube species, provide carbon nanotube biocompatibility and facilitates different applications of this nanomaterial. The photophysical characterization of these DNA-functionalized carbon nanotubes contributes to understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of carbon nanotube photophysics as well as gives some insight into the influence of biorganic environment on their photophysical properties. The important feature of this polymer is its different structural flexibility/stiffness, depending on nucleotides and/or their sequence, its ability to form double, triple and more complicated structures. All of these features influence substantially the polymer conformation at its adsorption on the nanotube surface: for example, some polymers can wrap round a nanotube, others adsorb along a tube in a stretching conformation, third ones form globules near the nanotube. It was demonstrated that photophysical properties of nanotubes with the polymer adsorbed, being in a water environment, strongly depend on the polymer conformation, which it acquires at adsorption. Therefore, in the first part of this chapter attention is focused on the analysis of different structures of the polymer, formed upon its adsorption on the nanotube, on the determination of the interaction energy between them, as all these have direct influence on spectral properties of nanotubes. In subsequent two parts of the chapter, devoted to absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence of nanotubes with the polymer adsorbed (mainly with DNA), the current insight into these physical phenomena observed in carbon nanotubes is made. Thus, the influence of the ππ stacking interaction between nitrogen bases and the nanotube surface on absorption spectra of nanotubes and DNA was demonstrated as well the change of the electron structure of the nanotube in the exciting state, due to the helical negative sugar-phosphatic backbone of the polymer wrapped around nanotubes, was analyzed. The analysis of novel studying, directed to clarify the influence of interfaced organic and biological molecules as well as pH of water suspension on the quantum yield of photoluminescence of semiconducting nanotubes was executed too.
