| Energy transfer systems are used extensively in biomolecular imaging where one dye absorbs light and transfers the energy to another dye which then emits the energy through fluorescence at longer wavelengths. The most commonly used mechanism for energy transfer is RET (Resonance Energy Transfer) where the energy is transferred through-space. Our group however is concerned with through-bond energy transfer systems in which the donor and acceptor dyes are connected through a conjugated linker. A series of through-bond energy transfer cassettes systems has been prepared. The effect of PeT (Photoinduced electron Transfer) and HOMO/LUMO matching between donor and acceptors are studied as well as the effect of pH on the efficiency of energy transfer. |
