Noncovalent assemblies of CdSe semiconductor quantum dots and an amphiphilic long-chain meso-arylporphyrin

The spectroluminescent properties of the noncovalent assemblies of CdSe semiconductor quantum dots with 5-(4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-tris(4-n-octaoxyphenyl)porphyrin and the efficiency of energy transfer from the quantum dots to the porphyrin molecule by the Forster resonant energy transfer mechanism were evaluated.
