RESUMO

Photophysical behavior of 9-aminoacridine (9AA) and derivatives, safranine O, auramine and 9-vinylanthracene was investigated, in silica particles. Firstly, commercial silica was modified and grafted with acridinic dyes; however, photophysical studies became unviable, due to its morphology. Silica nanospheres were prepared by Stöber method, with mean diameter of 50 nm, presenting high fluorescence emission. Moreover, in order to avoid de desorption of dyes from particles in suspension, systems containing a dye reach nucleus protected by silica shells were prepared (core-shell nanoparticles). The core-shell nanospheres, with mean diameter of 125 nm, are excellent matrixes for fluorescence studies, since it retards dye diffusion to the solvent. It was also prepared nanoparticles containing poly(methylmethacrylate) grafted with 9AA derivative. Interaction between silica silanol groups and dye N-H groups broke the intramolecular charge transfer, a characteristic process occurring in this dye. Finally, nanoparticles grafted with 9AA and safranine O were prepared. In the presence of safranine, fluorescence lifetime related to the deactivation of the chromophore acridine reduced from 12.2 ns to 9.71 ns, suggesting energy transfer and fluorescence quenching processes within the particles.
