Resumen
CASTILLO, John J. y CANO, Herminsul. Study of the fluorescence quenching of 1-hydroxypyrene-3,6,8-trisulfonic acid by single-walled carbon nanotubes. Univ. Sci. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.3, pp.201-214. ISSN 0122-7483. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.sc22-2.sotf.
This paper presents a study of the fluorescence quenching of 1-hydroxypyrene-3,6,8-trisulfonic acid (HPTS) in the presence of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) using a fluorescence method. To investigate the quenching mechanism (dynamic or static) of HPTS, Stern-Volmer plots of single walled carbon nanotubes at different temperatures were used. The positive deviation from linearity in Stern-Volmer plots suggests that single walled carbon nanotubes follow a static quenching mechanism evidenced by the formation of a stable ground state complex. The results presented here help us to clarify the quenching mechanism in the interaction of a pyrene derived dye and carbon nanotubes. This study will open new possibilities in the use of the conjugate formed by SWCNTs and HPTS in the fabrication of a biosensor based on intracellular fluorescent probes.
