Article Synopsis
- The report studies the photophysical properties of self-assembled copper hydroxylated nanoballs (OH-nanoballs) using various optical methods in methanol.
- Key findings show ligand absorbance at 305 nm and a Cu(2+)-to-ligand transition at 695 nm, while the emission spectrum peaks at approximately 360 nm, but is significantly quenched compared to the free ligand.
- The addition of bases like imidazole enhances the emission intensity, hinting at the dissociation of nanoball units, and fluorescence polarization indicates the OH-nanoball retains a spherical structure in solution, allowing for rapid energy transfer among ligands.
