Making Prussian blue analogues nanoparticles luminescent: effect of the luminophore confinement over the properties

Nanoscale. 2019 Apr 11;11(15):7097-7101. doi: 10.1039/c8nr09982k.

Abstract

In this communication, we report the post-synthetic functionalization of K+/Ni2+/[Cr(CN)6]3- Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanoparticles by the 2-aminoanthracene luminophore to yield a bifunctional magneto-luminescent nanosystem. The photoluminescence properties of the fluorophore are found modified by the confinement effect upon adsorption, while the magnetic behavior of PBA is preserved.
