Popis: Studying the complexes of inorganic nanoparticles - organic dye molecules is of great importance for their theranostics application. In this paper, we report gadolinium-yttrium orthovanadate nanoparticles (VNPs) - Acridine Orange (AO) complex formation in water solutions. To study the interactions between VNPs and AO, the methods of steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy were used. It was shown that in aqueous solutions containing VNPs, AO aggregation takes place with a sandwich-like stacking of AO molecules in the near-surface layer of VNPs. The VNPs-AO complex formation causes significant changes in the AO fluorescence spectrum, namely, the appearance of a new broad, structureless band in the long-wavelength spectral edge, which was not observed in AO spectrum in a pure water solution. By analyzing of the absorption, fluorescence excitation spectra and fluorescence decay, the static excimer origin of the long-wavelength fluorescence band has been established.
