Singlet oxygen, 1O2, can be generated by molecules that upon photoexcitation enable the 3O21O2 transition. We used a series of atomically precise Au24M(SR)18 clusters, with different R groups and doping metal atoms M. Upon nanosecond photoexcitation of the cluster, 1O2 was efficiently generated. Detection was carried out by time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) spectroscopy. The resulting TREPR transient yielded the 1O2 lifetime as a function of the nature of the cluster. We found that: these clusters indeed generate 1O2 by forming a triplet state; a more positive oxidation potential of the molecular cluster corresponds to a longer 1O2 lifetime; proper design of the cluster yields results analogous to those of a well-known reference photosensitizer, although more effectively. Comprehensive kinetic analysis provided important insights into the mechanism and driving-force dependence of the quenching of 1O2 by gold nanoclusters. Understanding on a molecular basis why these molecules may perform so well in 1O2 photosensitization is instrumental to controlling their performance.

了解和控制 Au24M(SR)18 纳米团簇作为单线态氧光敏剂的效率



单线态氧1 O 2可由在光激发下实现3 O 21 O 2跃迁的分子产生。我们使用了一系列原子级精确的Au 24 M(SR) 18簇,具有不同的R基团和掺杂金属原子M。在簇的纳秒光激发下,有效地生成了1 O 2 。通过时间分辨电子顺磁共振(TREPR)光谱进行检测。由此产生的 TREPR 瞬态产生了1 O 2寿命作为团簇性质的函数。我们发现:这些团簇确实通过形成三重态产生了1 O 2 ;分子簇的氧化电位越正,对应的1 O 2寿命越长;簇的正确设计产生了与众所周知的参考光敏剂类似的结果,尽管更有效。全面的动力学分析为金纳​​米团簇猝灭1 O 2的机制和驱动力依赖性提供了重要的见解。 在分子基础上理解为什么这些分子在1 O 2光敏化中表现如此良好有助于控制它们的性能。
