Light-Emitting Biosilica by In Vivo Functionalization of <i>Phaeodactylum tricornutum</i> Diatom Microalgae with Organometallic Complexes

Light-Emitting Biosilica by In Vivo Functionalization of <i>Phaeodactylum tricornutum</i> Diatom Microalgae with Organometallic Complexes

In vivo incorporation of a series of organometallic photoluminescent complexes in <i>Phaeodactylum tricornutum</i> diatom shells (frustules) is investigated as a biotechnological route to luminescent biosilica nanostructures. [Ir(ppy)<sub>2</sub>bpy]<sup>+</sup>[P...
