The quenching of core and core-shell CdSe quantum dots by TEMPO and 4-amino-TEMPO has been examined using steady state fluorescence spectroscopy. The efficiency of quenching is strongly dependant on the nanoparticle size, the binding properties of the nitroxide, and the presence or not of a protective shell, ZnS in our systems. The shell reduces the quenching efficiency significantly only in the case of binding nitroxides, such as 4-amino-TEMPO. Downward quenching plots revealing bimodal quenching characterize the Stern-Volmer plots obtained for 4-amino-TEMPO. The slope characteristic of the low concentrations regime depends strongly on the presence of a shell. For example, for particles with a 2.4 nm core, emitting at 525 nm the concentrations of 4-amino-TEMPO required to reduce the emission to one half are 0.65 mu M and 0.08 mM for core and core-shell nanoparticles, respectively. Surprisingly, in the high concentration regime, a single Stern-Volmer slope of about 4000 M-1 seems to accommodate all systems. We speculate that this value is characteristic of the exchange of TOPO ligands by 4-amino-TEMPO.
