The fluorescence of Ru(phen)3Cl2 (tris(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) dichloride) can be effectively quenched with the addition of graphene oxide in aqueous solution, due to the formation of a GO–Ru hybrid. A fluorescence enhancement of approximately 50 times can be observed after the addition of a certain amount o…
