Abstract:In continuation of previous studies on the photophysics of phenyl-substituted tetraazachlorins, we determined the spectral and luminescent characteristics of a tetramethylhexaphenyltetraazachlorin zinc complex at 293 and 77 K. Absorption, fl uorescence, and fl uorescence excitation spectra; the fl uorescence quantum yield and lifetime; and the quantum yield for singlet oxygen generation were measured at room temperature. Fluorescence, fl uorescence excitation, and fl uorescence polarization spectra were measur… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
