Fluorescent silica nanoparticles by silylation.
Shining nanosil: Fluorescent trimethoxysilanes were prepared by the hydrosilylation of N-allyl perylene tetracarboxylic diimides and used for the covalent grafting of silica and silica nanoparticles (see picture). The fluorescent chromophores operate independently at the surface of these particles.
