| Zusammenfassung: | Adsorption characteristics of thionine on gold nanoparticles have been studied by using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cyclic voltammetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. With the increasing concentration of gold nanoparticles, the absorption peak intensity of H-type dimers of thionine increases continuously, whereas that of monomers of thionine first increases and then decreases. The addition of gold nanoparticles makes the equilibrium between the monomer and H-type dimer forms of thionine move toward the dimer forms. Furthermore, the adsorption behavior of thionine on gold nanoparticles is also influenced by temperature. TEM images show that the addition of thionine results in an obvious aggregation, and further support the absorption spectral results. The fluorescence intensity of adsorbed thionine is quenched by gold nanoparticles due to the electronic interaction between thionine molecules and gold nanoparticles. Cyclic voltammetric and infrared spectroscopic studies show that the nitrogen atoms of both of the NH2 moieties of thionine strongly bind to the gold nanoparticle surfaces through the electrostatic interaction of thionine with gold nanoparticles. For 15-20 nm particles, the number of adsorbed thionine molecules per gold nanoparticle is about 7.66 x 10(4). Thionine molecules can not only bind to a particle to form a compact monolayer via both of the NH2 moieties, but they can also bind to two particles via their two NH(2) moieties, respectively |
