Abstract
We report the postsynthetic functionalization of Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles by two different luminophores (2-aminoanthracene and rhodamine B). We show that the photoluminescence properties of the fluorophores are modified by a confinement effect upon adsorption and demonstrate that such multifunctional nanosized systems could be used for in vitro imaging.
