This Letter describes the reversible modulation of the electrostatic potential at the interface between a colloidal PbS quantum dot (QD) and solvent, through the protonation equilibrium of the QD’s histamine-derivatized dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) ligand shell. The electrostatic potential is sensitively monitored by the yield of photoinduced electron transfer from the QD to a charged electron acceptor, 9,10-anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQ). The permeability of the DHLA coating to the AQ progressively increases as the average degree of protonation of the ligand shell increases from 0 to 92%, as quantified by 1H NMR, upon successive additions of p-toluenesulfonic acid; this increase results in a decrease in the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the QDs by a factor of 6.7. The increase in permeability is attributable to favorable electrostatic interactions between the ligands and AQ. This work suggests the potential of the combination of near-IR-emitting QDs and molecular quenchers as robust local H+ sensors.

胶体量子点通过其配体的质子平衡对静电势的可逆调制

这封信描述了通过QD组胺衍生化的二氢硫辛酸(DHLA)配体壳的质子化平衡,在胶体PbS量子点(QD)和溶剂之间的界面上对电势的可逆调制。静电势通过从QD转移到带电电子受体9,10-蒽醌-2-磺酸盐(AQ)的光诱导电子转移的产率来灵敏地监控。的DHLA涂布到AQ渗透性逐渐增大作为平均程度的配位体壳从0增加到92%的质子化的,如通过定量1 H NMR,在连续加入p-甲苯磺酸;这种增加导致QD的光致发光(PL)强度降低了6.7倍。渗透性的增加归因于配体与AQ之间的良好静电相互作用。这项工作表明,结合近红外发射的量子点和分子猝灭剂作为稳健的局部H +传感器的潜力。
