Luminescent organic dots (O-dots) were synthesized via a one-pot, solvent-free thermolysis of citric acid in urea melt. The influence of the ratio of the precursors and the duration of the process on the properties of the O-dots was established and a mechanism of their formation was hypothesized. The multicolour luminescence tunability and toxicity of synthesized O-dots were extensively studied. The possible applications of O-dots for alive/fixed cell staining and labelling of layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte microcapsules were evaluated.
通过将柠檬酸在尿素熔体中进行一锅无溶剂热解合成了发光有机点(O点)。确定了前驱体比例和过程持续时间对O点性质的影响,并推测了其形成机制。对合成的O点的多色发光可调性和毒性进行了广泛研究。评估了O点在活细胞/固定细胞染色以及逐层聚电解质微胶囊标记方面的潜在应用。
