Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Development of Ab3-Type Novel Phthalocyanine and Porphyrin Photosensitizers Conjugated With Triphenylphosphonium for Higher Photodynamic Efficacy(American Chemical Society, 2022) Albakour, Mohamad; Önal, Emel; Tüncel, Özge; Erdoğan, İpek; Gümüşgöz Çelik, Gizem; Küçük, Tuǧba; Akgül, Bünyamin; Gürek, Ayşe Gül; Özçelik, SerdarThere are a number of lipophilic cations that can be chosen; the triphenylphosphonium (TPP) ion is particularly unique for mitochondrion targeting, mainly due to its simplicity in structure and ease to be linked to the target molecules. In this work, mitochondrion-targeted AB3-type novel phthalocyanine and porphyrin photosensitizers (PSs) were synthesized and their photophysical photochemical properties were defined. Fluorescence quantum yields (φF) are 0.009, 0.14, 0.13, and 0.13, and the singlet-oxygen quantum yields (φΔ) are 0.27, 0.75, 0.57, and 0.58 for LuPcPox(OAc), AB3TPP-Pc, AB3TPP-Por-C4, and AB3TPP-Por-C6, respectively. To evaluate the photodynamic efficacy of the TPP-conjugated PS cell viabilities of A549 and BEAS-2B lung cells were comparatively measured and IC-50 values were determined. AB3TPP-Por-C4, AB3TPP-Por-C6, and AB3TPP-Pc compounds compared to the reference molecules ZnPc and H2TPP were found to be highly cytotoxic (sub-micromolar concentration) under the light. LuPcPox(OAc) is the most effective molecule regarding cell killing (the activity). The cell killing of the TPP-conjugated porphyrin derivatives exhibits a similar response compared to LuPcPox(OAc) when the light absorbing factor of the PS is normalized at 660 nm: TPP-conjugated porphyrins absorb less light (lower extinction coefficient) but produce more radical species (higher singlet-oxygen quantum yield) and therefore effectively kill the cells. The singlet oxygen-producing capacity of AB3TPP-Pc is almost 3 times higher compared to LuPcPox(OAc) and 50% more efficient with respect to ZnPc, suggesting that TPP-conjugated phthalocyanine may serve as a good photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT). The high singlet oxygen generation capacity of these novel TPP-conjugated porphyrin and phthalocyanine PS suggests that they might be useful for PDT requiring lower photosensitizer concentration and reduced energy deposited through less light exposure.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Reducing the Efficiency Roll Off and Applied Potential-Induced Color Shifts in Cdse@zns/Zns-based Light-Emitting Diodes(American Chemical Society, 2020) Özgüler, Şahika; Diker, Halide; Ünlütürk, Seçil Sevim; Özçelik, Serdar; Varlıklı, CananGreen light-emitting CdSe@ZnS/ZnS (QD) nano-particles were synthesized; the photophysical and morphological properties of their films, which were prepared by spin coating from six different concentrations, corresponding to absorbance values of 0.6, 1.1, 1.6, 2.1, 2.8, and 4.0, were determined. Increasing the absorbance value from 0.6 to 4.0 did not change the photophysical properties of QD films to a large extent, whereas it resulted in an increment in QD film thickness from 20 to 110 nm. The films were utilized as an emissive layer in QD light-emitting diodes with poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), PVK:2-(4-biphenyllyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD), and PVK:1,3-bis[(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl]-phenylene (OXD-7) hole-transport layers (HTLs). The presence of PBD or OXD-7 in PVK reduced the efficiency values but played a positive role in the color purity and efficiency roll off. The maximum color temperature and electroluminescence wavelength shifts obtained with applied potential were 109, 50, and 50 K and 11, 5, and 5 nm for pure-PVK, PVK:PBD, and PVK:OXD-7-based devices, respectively. Hole mobility, capacitance (at 10(3) Hz), and charge-transfer efficiency values were 9.0 x 10(-7), 6.8 x 10(-7), and 4.2 x 10(-7) cm(2) V s(-1), 1.7, 1, and 1 nF, and 6.90%, 15.50%, and 16.10% for pure-PVK, PVK:PBD, and PVK:OXD-7-based devices, respectively. Enhanced color purity and lowered efficiency roll off obtained with PVK:PBD and PVK:OXD-7 HTLs were attributed to decreased capacitance, increased charge-transfer efficiency, and reduced Joule heating.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Enhanced Spontaneous Emission Rate in a Low-Q Hybrid Photonic-Plasmonic Nanoresonator(American Chemical Society, 2019) Gökbulut, Belkıs; İnanç, Arda; Topçu, Gökhan; Ünlütürk, Seçil Sevim; Özçelik, Serdar; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; İnci, Mehmet NaciIn this paper, CdTe quantum dots (QDs)-doped single electrospun polymer nanofibers are partially coated with gold nanoparticles to form distinct hybrid photonic-plasmonic nanoresonators to investigate the critical role of the cavity-confined hybrid mode on the modification of the spontaneous emission dynamics of the fluorescent emitters in low-Q photonic cavities. A total enhancement factor of 11.2 is measured via a time-resolved experimental technique, which shows that there is an increase of about three times in the spontaneous emission rate for the QDs-doped gold nanoparticle-decorated nanofibers as they are compared with those uncoated ones. The physical mechanism affecting the spontaneous emission rate of the encapsulated QDs in such a hybrid photonic-plasmonic nanoresonator is explained to be due to regeneration of the mode field in the nanofiber cavity upon the interaction of the dipoles with the surface plasmons of distinctive gold nanoparticles that surround the outer surface of the nanofiber.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Single Chain Cationic Polymer Dot as a Fluorescent Probe for Cell Imaging and Selective Determination of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells(American Chemical Society, 2019) Özenler, Sezer; Yücel, Müge; Tüncel, Özge; Kaya, Hakan; Özçelik, Serdar; Yıldız, Ümit HakanThis letter describes formation of single chain cationic polymer dots (Pdots) made of poly[1,4-dimethy1-1-(34(2,4,5-trimethylthiophen-3-yl)oxy)propyl)piperazin-1-ium bromide] conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE). The single chain Pdot formation relies on a simple process which is a rapid nanophase separation between CPE solution of ethylene glycol and water. Pdots show narrow monodisperse size distribution with a 3.6 nm in diameter exhibiting high brightness and excellent colloidal and optical stability. It has been demonstrated that photoluminescent Pdots provide selective nuclear translocation to hepatocellular carcinoma cells as compared to healthy liver cells. The Pdot labeling effectively discriminates cancer cells in the coculture media. Pdots hold great promise as a luminescent probe to diagnose cancer cells in histology and may guide surgeons during operations to precisely separate out cancerous tissue due to augmented fluorescence brightness.Article Citation - WoS: 12Probing Nanoscale Domains of J-Aggregates Deposited on a Mica Surface(American Chemical Society, 2004) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Özçelik, Serdar; Birkan, BurakJ-aggregates of 1,1′,3,3′-tetraethyl-5,5′,6,6′- tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine (TTBC) were deposited on a mica surface and probed by atomic force microscopy operated at tapping mode in air. Optical spectra showed that J-aggregates were formed in aqueous solutions. Atomic force microscopy images revealed that J-aggregates deposited on mica surfaces mainly present single domains with a mean height of 2.00 ± 0.25 nm and an average diameter of 100 ± 20 nm. Quantitative analysis of the morphology of images indicated that the single domain of J-aggregates exhibits very uniform height and diameter distributions with polydispersity indices of 1.02 and 1.04, respectively. Based on the results, we propose a two-dimensional nanostructure in which TTBC J-aggregates could be arranged in a monolayer.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Hierarchial Coassembly of a Cyanine Dye in Poly(vinyl Alcohol) Fibrous Films by Electrospinning(American Chemical Society, 2013) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Horzum, Nesrin; Özen, Bengisu; Özçelik, SerdarWe report molecular aggregate formation of TTBC (1,1′,3,3′- tetraethyl-5,5′,6,6′-tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine) in submicrometer-sized PVA (poly(vinyl alcohol)) fibers by electrospinning. The formation of the molecular aggregate is examined by solution and instrumental parameters of electrospinning. The precursor solution of PVA/TTBC, in the range of 0.016-0.065 wt % is subjected to electrospinning under an electrical field ranging from 0.95 to 1.81 kV cm-1. Both randomly deposited and uniaxially aligned fibers are achieved by using two parallel-positioned metal strips as counter electrode. Photoluminescence and polarized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies are employed to determine spectral properties of the fibers. H-aggregates are formed within the electrospun fibers, regardless of their alignment, and H- and J-type aggregates coexist in the alternative spin-coated and the cast films. A strongly polarized photoluminescence emission is observed in the direction of uniaxially aligned fibers as a result of the orientation of the H-aggregates along the fiber axis. We demonstrate that electrospinning is a process capable of forming and orienting TTBC aggregates during the structural development of the polymer/dye nanofibers. These fibrous films may potentially find applications in optics and electronics.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 46Controlled Formation of the Two-Dimensional Ttbc J-Aggregates in an Aqueous Solution(American Chemical Society, 2013) Birkan, Burak; Gülen, Demet; Özçelik, SerdarStrong experimental and theoretical evidence was provided on the controlled formation of the two-dimensional J-aggregates that were assembled in the herringbone morphology. The exciton-band structure formation of 1,1′,3,3′-tetraethyl-5,5′,6,6′-tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine (TTBC) J-aggregates was investigated in ionic (NaOH) aqueous solution at room temperature. The control was achieved by changing the [TTBC] ata given [NaOH], or vice versa, and was monitored through the changes in the absorption, fluorescence excitation, and emission spectra. Specific attention was paid to expose the excited-state structure and dynamics through simulations of the excitonic properties, which included diagonal energetic disorder and phononassisted exciton relaxation. Aggregates were characterized by an asymmetrically split Davydov pair, an H-band ( 500 nm, 1300 cm -1wide, Lorentzian-like) and a J-band ( 590 nm, 235 cm -1wide, with a band shapetypical of a one-dimensional J-aggregate), whose relative intensities showed a strong dependence on the [TTBC]/[NaOH]. The H-band is favored by high [TTBC] or high [NaOH]. An explanation of the control on the aggregate formation was given by correlating the changes in the absorption with the structural modifications and the subsequent changes in the dynamics, which were induced by variations in the dye and NaOH concentrations. The J-band shape/width was attributed to disorder and disorder-induced intraband phononassisted exciton relaxation. The intraband processes in both bands were estimated to occur in the same time scale (about a picosecond). It has been suggested that the wide energetic gap between the Davydov split bands (3000 cm -1 ) could get bridged by the excitonic states of the loosely coupled chains, in addition to the monomeric species at low [TTBC]. Phonon-assisted interband relaxation, through the band gap states and/or directly from the H- to the J-band, are suggested for accounting the difference between the bandwidths and shapes of the two bands. Energy transfer between the H-band and the monomeric species is suggested as crucial for tuning the relative strengths of the two bands.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Controlling Spontaneous Emission of Cdse Nanoparticles Dispersed in Electrospun Fibers of Polycarbonate Urethane(American Chemical Society, 2009) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Soysal, Duygu; Ünlü, Caner; Kuş, Mahmut; Özçelik, SerdarLuminescent fibrous composite films consisting of submicrometer diameter fibers were prepared by electrospinning of segmented polycarbonate urethane (PCU) in dimethyl formamide and tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO)-capped CdSe nanocrystals (5 nm in diameter) in toluene. Using a pair of conductive electrodes separated with an air gap, we successfully produced randomly deposited and uniaxially aligned electrospun fibers. The surface structure of the electrospun fibers was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and was compared to the corresponding film prepared by casting. In cast film, tapping mode AFM imaging suggests that hard urethane segments organize into rodlike morphology dispersed in soft polycarbonate. When PCU/ CdSe dispersions were subjected to electrospinning, copolymer domains were forced to arrange into lamella along the fiber axis due to elongational flow and high stretching. Molecular orientation in the domains of the composite fibers was confirmed by polarized infrared spectroscopy. We demonstrated that formation of the oriented domains by electrospinning develops a hierarchical structure, which consequently modifies spectral properties because new multiple sharp lines appeared in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the fibers. In contrast to randomly deposited fibers, the PL intensity of uniaxially aligned fibers was found to be angle dependent. We propose that the elongated internal structure within the fibers controls the spontaneous emission of CdSe nanoparticles dispersed throughout the electrospun mat. A discussion on the nature of the controlled spontaneous emission is provided.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Systematic Tuning the Hydrodynamic Diameter of Uniformed Fluorescent Silica Nanoparticles(American Chemical Society, 2011) Durgun, Gülay; Ocakoğlu, Kasım; Özçelik, SerdarWe report a facile method for systematic tuning the hydrodynamic diameter of uniformed fluorescent silica particles in the size range from 12 to 465 nm. Dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy studies demonstrate that the hydrodynamic size distribution of the silica particles is uniform. We show that the initial amounts of ethanol and ammonia are essential to tune the size of these particles. The hydrodynamic diameter of such a particle increases as the amount of ammonia is increased. On the other hand, an increase in the amount of ethanol leads to the formation of smaller particles. Higher initial amount of ethanol yield an increase in the concentration of ethoxide ions and a decrease in the concentration of hydroxide ions. Such control over the concentration of hydroxide ion, which is responsible for the formation of siloxane bonds, causes a controlled-growth of the silica particles, resulting in precise tuning the hydrodynamic size. We confirm that a linear relationship exists between size and brightness of particles, demonstrating that the amount of dye molecules in such particles can be regulated by the presented method. We prove that the silica network provides protection for dye molecules encapsulated in particles against solvents, fluorescence quenchers, and unfavorable pH of environments. Moreover, the fluorescent silica particles with the size of 12, 50 and 250 nm were found to not be cytotoxic against the epithelial cell lines of MCF7 and PC3 even when the dosage levels up to 1.0 mg/ml and incubation periods up to 72 hours were applied.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 29Formation of Pseudoisocyanine J-Aggregates in Poly(vinyl Alcohol) Fibers by Electrospinning(American Chemical Society, 2009) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Özen, Bengisu; Özçelik, SerdarSubmicrometer diameter, light emitting fibers of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) doped with pseudoisocyanine (1,1′-diethyl-2,2′-cyanine bromide, PIC) dye were prepared by electrospinning. A horizontal setup was employed with a stationary collector consisting of two parallel-positioned metal strips separated by a void gap. Formation of uniaxially aligned and randomly deposited fibers in electrospun films was confirmed by microscopy. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy is used to evaluate spectral properties of both types of fibers doped with PIC. While PIC molecules were individually dispersed in PVA solution, they assemble into J-aggregates upon electrospinning when the weight fraction of PIC molecules is above 2.5 wt %. The formation of J-aggregates was observed in both randomly deposited and uniaxially aligned electrospun fibers. Moreover, the fibers aligned uniaxially showed a high degree of polarized emission (PL |/PL⊥)10), arising from the orientation of J-aggregates along the fiber axis. On the other hand, isotropic emission of J-aggregates was observed from the fibers deposited randomly. As a conclusion, electrospinning was found to be an efficient and a practical method to form highly oriented J-aggregates dispersed into polymer fibers. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time formation of J-aggregates (a bottom-up approach) and electrospinning (a topdown approach) is successfully combined.
