Amine-Rich Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanodots as a Platform for Self-Enhancing Electrochemiluminescence / S. Carrara, F. Arcudi, M. Prato, L. De Cola. - In: ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE. INTERNATIONAL EDITION. - ISSN 1433-7851. - 56:17(2017), pp. 4757-4761. [10.1002/anie.201611879]
Abstract:
Amine-rich nitrogen-doped carbon nanodots (NCNDs) have been successfully used as co-reactant in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) processes. Primary or tertiary amino groups on NCNDs have been studied as co-reactant sites for Ru(bpy)32+ ECL, showing their eligibility as powerful alternatives to tripropylamine (TPrA). We also report the synthesis and ECL behavior of a new covalently linked hybrid of NCNDs and Ru(bpy)32+. Notably, the NCNDs in the hybrid act both as carrier for ECL labels and as co-reactant for ECL generation. As a result, the hybrid shows a higher ECL emission as compared to the combination of the individual components, suggesting the self-enhancing ECL of the ruthenium complex due to an intramolecular electron transfer process.
