Controllable "Clicked-to-Assembled" Plasmonic Core-Satellite Nanostructures and Its Surface-Enhanced Fluorescence in Living Cells.

ABSTRACT: The assembly of noble-metal core-satellite (CS) nanostructures is an appealing means to control their plasmonic properties for their applications such as surface-enhanced fluorescence or Raman scattering. However, till now there is a lack of some rapid or convenient methods to construct stable CS nanostructures. Here, we proposed a "clicked-to-assembly" strategy based on the fast and specific "click chemistry" reaction between trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and 1,2,4,5-tetrazine (Tz). The CS nanostructures were constructed within 8 min by simple mixing of TCO- or Tz-modified nanoparticles (TCO-NPs or Tz-NPs) without any catalysts or heating required. Transmission electron microscopy experiments show that the constructed CS nanostructures are uniform, and particularly the number of "satellite" nanoparticles in the core surface is controllable by simply adjusting the feeding ratio of TCO-NPs or Tz-NPs in the reaction. The strong surface plasmon coupling effect (SPCE) was observed in these CS nanostructures, which was dependent on the coverage degree, size and composition of the satellite, and core NPs. The nanostructures with tuned surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect were tried for the surface-enhanced fluorescence in living cells. Such well-defined CS nanostructures could potentially serve as efficient SPR-enhanced fluorescent probes as diagnostics or biomedical imaging agents in nanomedicine.

Project description:Integration of plasmonic nanoantennas with catalytically active reactors in deliberately designed hybrid supra-nanostructures creates a dual-functional materials platform, based upon which precise modulation of catalytic reaction kinetics becomes accomplishable through optical excitations of plasmon resonances. Here, we have developed a multistep synthetic approach that enables us to assemble colloidal Au@C/Pt core@shell/satellite supra-nanostructures, in which the Au core functions as a light-harvesting plasmonic nanoantenna, the Pt satellites act as catalytically active reactors, and the C shell serves as a nanoscale dielectric spacer separating the reactors from the antenna, respectively. By adjusting several synthetic parameters, the size of the Au core, the thickness of the C shell, and the surface coverage of Pt satellites can all be tuned independently. Choosing Pt-catalyzed cascade oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in an aerobic aqueous environment as a model reaction, we have systematically studied the detailed kinetic features of the catalytic reactions both in the dark and under visible light illumination over a broad range of reaction conditions, which sheds light on the interplay between plasmonic and catalytic effects in these antenna-reactor nanohybrids. The plasmonic antenna effect can be effectively harnessed to kinetically modulate multiple crucial steps during the cascade reactions, benefiting from plasmon-enhanced interband electronic transitions in the Pt satellites and plasmon-enhanced intramolecular electronic excitations in chromogenic intermediate species. In addition to the plasmonic antenna effect, photothermal transduction derived from plasmonic excitations can also provide significant contributions to the kinetic enhancements under visible light illumination. The knowledge gained from this work serves as important guiding principles for rational design and structural optimization of plasmonic antenna-reactor hybrid nanomaterials, endowing us with enhanced capabilities to kinetically modulate targeted catalytic/photocatalytic molecule-transforming processes through light illumination.
