Abstract
The preparation of 2,7-diazapyrenium films on glass, quartz and silica was described. The transmission absorption spectra confirmed the presence of 2,7-diazapyrenium chromophores, but indicate sub-monolayer surface coverages. The amount of immobilized 2,7-diazapyrenium dications increases significantly when the polysiloxane formation steps of both procedures are performed either on the surface of silica nanoparticles or in the presence of Si(OEt) 4 on glass slides. The emission intensity of the 2,7-diazapyrenium dications decreases upon association of the surface-confined fluorophores with dopamine.
