Host-guest composite materials of dyes loaded zeolite LTL for antenna applications

This research work directly focuses on a new feasible light harvesting antenna material constructed with Acridine hydrochloride (Ac)/Acriflavine hydrochloride (AF), as donor/acceptor for energy transfer, loaded on a round shape zeolite LTL (K-LTL and H-LTL). The energy transfer was monitored by absorption and fluorescence spectra while the calculated Förster distance (RDA) and Quenching efficiency (%Q) of Ac/AF on K-LTL and H-LTL varied between 22.0 Å to 19.6 Å and 71.4% to 65.5%, respectively. Also, it was found that the microenvironment of a solid host such as K-LTL and H-LTL has significantly influenced the fluorescence spectra of Ac/AF on H-LTL approximately 50 nm longer than that on K-LTL.
