Abstract: A novel class of biofunctional silole nanocrystals with the potential to create highly sensitive immunoassay was firstly demonstrated. Biolabels were constructed by encapsulating nanocrystalline hexaphenylsilole [Ph 2Si(CPh)4; HPS] within ultrathin polyelectrolyte layers via the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique that provided an "interface" for the attachment of antibodies. A high ratio of fluorescent dyes to biomolecules (F/P ratio; 2.4×103) was achieved without self-quenching problem. The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature offered silole biolabels the sensitivity 40- to 140-fold higher than that of a start-of-the-art immunoassay using directly fluorescent-labeled antibodies. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
