Abstract

Nanostructured organosilicon luminophores (NOLs) are branched molecular structures having two types of covalently bonded via silicon atoms organic luminophores with efficient Förster energy transfer between them. They combine the best properties of organic luminophores and inorganic quantum dots: high absorption cross-section, excellent photoluminescence quantum yield, fast luminescence decay time, good processability and low toxicity. A smart choice of organic luminophores allowed us to design and synthesize a library of NOLs, absorbing from VUV to visible region and emitting at the desired wavelengths from 390 to 650 nm. They can be used as unique wavelength shifters in plastic scintillators and other applications.
