Gold Nanoparticles at a Liquid Interface: Towards a Soft Nonlinear Metasurface

Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) is achieved using adsorbed gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with an average diameter of 16 nm at the aqueous solution–air interface in reflection. A detailed analysis of the depth profile of the SHG intensity detected sho ...

Inkjet-printed microtiter plates for portable electrochemical immunoassays

Hubert Girault, Frédéric Gumy, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Milica Jovic, Yingdi Zhu, Alexandra Bondarenko

Herein, we present the large-scale fabrication of multiplexed three-electrode sensors used in a point-of-care device platform that couples a magnetic bead-based immunoassay strategy with amperometric detection for rapid and highly sensitive analysis. The m ...

Self-Healing Gold Mirrors and Filters at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces

Hubert Girault, Frédéric Gumy, Pekka Eero Peljo, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Evgeny Smirnov

The optical and morphological properties of lustrous metal self-healing liquid-like nanofilms were systematically studied towards different applications (e.g., optical mirrors or filters). These nanofilms were formed by a one-step self-assembly methodology ...

Conductive Gold Nanoparticle Mirrors at Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Hubert Girault, Frédéric Gumy, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Dmitry Momotenko, Véronique Amstutz, Haiqiang Deng, Pingping Fang, Carlos Manuel De Melo Pereira

Gold nanoparticle (Au NP) mirrors, that exhibit both high reflectance and electrical conductance, were self-assembled at a [heptane + 1,2-dichloroethane]/water liquid/liquid interface. The highest reflectance, as observed experimentally and confirmed by fi ...

Sensitized near-IR luminescence of lanthanide complexes based on push-pull diketone derivatives

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Frédéric Gumy, Annina Aebischer

Lanthanide complexes with two push-pull diketone derivatives as sensitizers have been developed as synthons for near-infrared emitting materials. The ligand substituents consist of a carbazole moiety with hole-transport properties and an aromatic or hetero ...

Integrating sphere for the optical analysis of luminescent materials

Frédéric Gumy

An integrating sphere for measuring quantum yield comprises a sample holder, for example a capillary (7) adapted to be placed in a quartz tube (12) comprised in the sphere, an inlet opening for introducing an excitation beam (10), and an outlet opening for ...

Modulating the Near-Infrared Luminescence of Neodymium and Ytterbium Complexes with Tridentate Ligands Based on Benzoxazole-Substituted 8-Hydroxyquinolines

Rosario Scopelliti, Jean-Claude Bünzli, Frédéric Gumy

An improved synthesis of 2-(2′-benzothiazole)- and 2-(2′-benzoxazole)-8-hydroxyquinoline ligands that combine a tridentate N,N,O-chelating unit for metal binding and extended chromophore for light harvesting is developed. The 2-(2′-benzoxazole)-8-hydroxyqu ...

Structural and Near-IR Luminescent Properties of Erbium-Containing Coordination Polymers

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Frédéric Gumy

The near-IR luminescence properties of two ErIII-containing coordination polymers, namely, [Er(btc)(H2O)5·3.5H2O] [(btc)3– = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate] and [Er2(bdc)3- (H2O)4] [(bdc)2– = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate] were investigated with the aim of testing ...

Intrinsic quantum yields and radiative lifetimes of lanthanide tris(dipicolinates)

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Frédéric Gumy, Annina Aebischer

The efficiency with which the surroundings of trivalent lanthanide ions sensitize their luminescence (Zsens) is a key parameter in the design of highly emitting molecular edifices and materials. Evaluation of Zsens requires the measurement of the overall a ...
