Zinc and chloroindium complexes of furan-2-ylmethoxy substituted phthalocyanines: Preparation and investigation of aggregation, singlet oxygen generation, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties

Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization and Photoactivity of Zr(IV) Phthalocyanines Functionalized with Aminobenzoic Acids and Their GO-Based Composites

“…In conclusion, the generation of singlet oxygen has been a subject of great interest in different disciplines, from polymer science to medicine. High chemical reactivity of singlet oxygen can be utilized in biological systems, for example, in PDT [48] including antiseptic effect. Photoactivity capacity of the studied materials (both complexes and composites) was proved by the test of singlet oxygen generation using DPBF.…”

Dual-purpose zinc and silicon complexes of 1,2,3-triazole group substituted phthalocyanine photosensitizers: synthesis and evaluation of photophysical, singlet oxygen generation, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties

“…The complexes 4 and 5 are generally soluble in organic solvents and can be readily puried by column chromatography using silica gel or Al 2 O 3 . The structures of the newly synthesized and well-puried compounds were elucidated by UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR and MS spectroscopic methods. The results show that the synthesized compounds are coherent with the proposed structures.…”

“…[9][10][11][12] Particularly zinc and silicon metal coordinated phthalocyanine complexes have been used in the photodynamic therapy of cancer owing to the closed shell, diamagnetic ion (such as Si 4+ , Zn 2+ ) give both high triplet quantum yields and long lifetimes. [13][14][15][16] Also due to this diamagnetic metal properties, zinc phthalocyanines that have been studied widely by many groups are very important photosensitizers for DSSC applications. In addition, Zn(II) phthalocyanine complexes are used as photosensitizers owing to their long-lived (>1 ns) singlet excited states.…”

High Photosensitized Singlet Oxygen Generating Zinc and Chloroindium Phthalocyanines Bearing (4‐isopropylbenzyl)oxy Groups as Potential Agents for Photophysicochemical Applications

“…Complex 3 shows similar Q band absorption and Q band maxima of the excitation spectra. This suggests that the ground and excited states’ nuclear configurations show a similarity and excitation in DMSO did not affect them ,…”
