| Research Abstract |
Nano-sized catalysts such as enzymes and inorganic nanoparticles have both potential and demonstrated applications for use in (bio)chemical synthesis and energy production. In this study, we developed new fluorescence probes for molecular adsorption and interfacial electron transfer reactions on individual nanocatalysts. The synthesized BODIPY-based fluorescence probes, which have one or two sulfonate groups and a dinitrophenyl group as a redox reaction site, were used to investigate the photoinduced electron transfer reactions over catalysts at the single-particle, single-molecule levels. We also applied single-molecule-based super-resolution fluorescence microscopy with catechol-modified BODIPY to identify the locations of effective adsorption sites on metal oxide surfaces.
