Abstract:

The combination of nanoparticles with the photosensitizing molecules will assist in developing new approach for their biological applications. In this paper work, we have studied the interaction of photosensitising mesotetrakis (2,6,dimethoxyphenol) porphyrin molecule (P1) with AuTiO2 nanoparticles using absorption, fluorescence and time resolved measurements. An isosbestic point is appeared in the absorption spectrum of P1 on increasing the concentration of AuTiO2 nanoparticles indicates the interaction of P1 with AuTiO2 nanoparticles. Static type of quenching is observed in the fluorescence quenching measurement which is confirmed through lifetime measurements. Energy level calculations and Rehm Weller methods confirms the electron transfer mechanism from the excited P1 to the AuTiO2 nanoparticles. The observed effective binding and electron transfer property of porphyrin with AuTiO2 nanoparticles has great potential to be applied in the field of photodynamic therapy.
