Bridging Lanthanide to Quantum Dot Energy Transfer with a Short-Lifetime Organic Dye

Résumé

Semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) should act as excellent Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) acceptors due to their large absorption cross section, tunable emission, and high quantum yields. Engaging this type of FRET can be complicated due to direct excitation of the QD acceptor along with its longer excited-state lifetime. Many cases of QDs acting as energy transfer acceptors are within time-gated FRET from long-lifetime lanthanides, which allow the QDs to decay before observing FRET. Efficient QD sensitization requires the lanthanide to be in close proximity to the QD. To overcome the lifetime mismatch issues and limited transfer range, we utilized a Cy3 dye to bridge the energy transfer from an extremely long lived terbium emitter to the QD. We demonstrated that short-lifetime dyes can be used as energy transfer relays between extended lifetime components and in this way increased the distance of terbium-QD FRET to ∼14 nm.
