Book Review of Advanced Fluorescence Reporters in Chemistry and Biology II: Molecular Constructions, Polymers and Nanoparticles

摘要

Spectroscopy enables chemical identification and quantitation in a diverse range of environments, and the development of optical probes has been critical to advancing the field of fluorescence sensing. This book covers advances achieved through nano-science. An underlying theme in this monograph is that nano-scale probes extend the capabilities of fluorescence sensing by enhancing sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and efficiency. The topics cover the photophysical features and synthesis of nano-scale emitters, including quantum dots, molecular aggregates, metallic clusters, and conjugated polymers.
