Synthesis and photophysical properties of nanocomposites of aluminum tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine covalently linked to glutathione capped CdTe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots

Aluminum tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine (ClAlTSPc) was covalently linked with different sizes of glutathione capped CdTe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). The photophysical and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) properties of the nanoconjugates were investigated. The CdTe/CdS/ZnS(6.3) nanocomposite...
