Underlying Processes

<p>Plasmonic metal nanoparticles can impact the behaviour of organic molecules in a number of ways, including enhancing or quenching fluorescence. Only through a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental photophysical processes regulating nano-molecular interactions can these effects be controlled, and exploited to the fullest extent possible. Metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) is governed by two underlying processes, increased rate of fluorophore excitation and increased fluorophore emission, the balance between which has implications for optimizing hybrid nanoparticle-molecular systems for various applications. We report groundbreaking work on the use of single molecule fluorescence microscopy to distinguish between the two mechanistic components of MEF, in a model system consisting of two analogous boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) fluorophores and triangular silver nanoparticles (AgNP). We demonstrate that the increased excitation MEF mechanism occurs to approximately the same extent for both dyes, but that the BODIPY with the higher quantum yield of fluorescence experiences a greater degree of MEF via the increased fluorophore emission mechanism, and higher overall enhancement, as a result of its superior ability to undergo near-field interactions with AgNP. We foresee that this knowledge and methodology will be used to tailor MEF to meet the needs of different applications, such as those requiring maximum enhancement of fluorescence intensity or instead prioritizing excited-state photochemistry. </p>
