Photo-physical characterization of fluorophore Ru(bpy)32+ for optical biosensing applications

We studied absorption, emission and lifetime of the coordination compound tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) fluorophore (Ru(bpy)32+) both dissolved in water solutions and dried. Lifetime measurements were carried out using a new detector, the Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM), which is more sensitive a...
