| Application | Tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)-ruthenium hexafluorophosphate (Ru(dpp)3(PF6)2) has been widely used as a probe for luminescent detection and quantitation of oxygen.1,2 The fluorescence of the dye (abs. λmax 455 nm, luminescence λ max 613 nm) is strongly reduced by molecular oxygen due to dynamic quenching, making Ru(dpp)3(PF6)2 a viable oxygen probe based on either measurement of intensity or decay time. At a partial pressure of 200 hPa the decay time (and intensity) of Ru(dpp)3(PF6)2 decreases by a factor of 2 due to dynamic quenching. Tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium hexafluorophosphate is recommended for conjugation to polystyrene membranes or beads. |
