Abstract

In this study, we report on a novel hybrid structure for the direct sensing of metal ions based on the use of CdSe quantum dots functionalized with tetrapyridyl-substituted porphyrin, a cation-selective carrier. It is shown that the porphyrin ion carrier coordinates to Cd atoms of the CdSe quantum dots through the Lewis basic pyridyl groups. The porphyrin-quantum dot ligation allows for the direct communication between the porphyrin and the underlying CdSe quantum structure. The quantum yield of CdSe is maintained despite the robust capping generated when the unmetallated porphyrins coordinate onto the quantum dots. Upon coordination with zinc ions, this porphyrin capping is shown to strongly contribute to the increase in the fluorescence efficiency of CdSe, via an activating interaction with the quantum dots surface. The results provide the grounds for the development of highly sensitive and selective nano-optode sensing systems.
