We report on an efficient energy transfer process in colloidal systems of semiconducter nanoparticles (NPs) and organic dyes. The focus is set on assemblies of CdSe core NPs and tetra-(m-pyridyl)-porphyrin molecules dispersed in toluene. Steady-state titration experiments show an inhibition of the NP emission with increasing porphyrin concentration. For such an assembly, the porphyrin emission intensity is enhanced. Photoluminescence excitation spectra at porphyrin emission also reveal a significant influence of the NP concentration. These facts are confirmed by time-resolved photoluminescence measurements as they clearly show a raising component on the molecules emission band in presence of the NP. We interpret these resuls as proof for self-organization of the porphyrins on the NP surface and a directed energy transfer from the NP to the molecule.
