Synthesis and Characterization of Spherical Aggregations of Organic-ZnS Hybrids

Abstract

By using a novel terpyridine-based dye (4-(4-2-[dimethyl4,4'-(phenylazanediyl) dibenzoate]phenyl)-2,2:6,2-terpyri-dine(L)) as a surface stabilizing agent, novel dye-capped ZnS were obtained. The photophysical properties of these dye-capped ZnS have been investigated experimentally. These hybrid particles (ZnS/L) aggregate a large spherical structure observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) exhibiting novel luminescent properties, which differ from those of the pure L.
