Photoluminescent Eu-containing polyoxometalate/gemini surfactant hybrid nanoparticles for biological applications†
Abstract
In water, Eu-containing polyoxometalate/gemini surfactant hybrid spheres with long emission timescale (3.758 ms) and high fluorescence quantum yield (25.17%) behaviors were synthesized. The hybrid spheres can be used as a bioprobe to image living cells.
