13. Electron and energy transfer from pyrene molecules bound to gold nanoparticles has been reported for several systems (see, for example, ref 11), but sensitized luminescence was never observed before.
14. Several examples of nonluminescent nanoparticles with pyrene-tailed ligands have been reported. See, for example: (a) Ipe, B. I.; Thomas, K. G.; Barazzouk, S.; Hotchandani, S.; Kamat, P. V. J. Phys. Chem. B 2002, 106, 18-21.

23. The spectra were combined in order to match the absorbance at 500 nm and at 345 nm.
24. Both interfluorophore and fluorophore-metal interactions may be responsible for such effect. See also ref 11d.
