Abstract
A series of novel water-soluble metal-free, zinc(II) and indium(III) (triethylene glycol methyl ether)-1H-1,2,3-triazole substituted phthalocyanines (Pcs) were synthesized and characterized using a range of spectroscopic techniques. The photophysical and photochemical properties, including singlet oxygen generation and photodegradation quantum yields, were determined in order to assess the effect of the substituent and central metal ions on the spectroscopic and photophysicochemical properties of the Pcs. The production of singlet oxygen was found to be dependent on the structure of the phthalocyanine (Pc), the metal ion incorporated within the phthalocyanine cavity, and the solvent. The indium(III) phthalocyanine exhibited the highest singlet oxygen generation capability, with a singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ) of 0.87, 0.23 and 0.74 in DMSO, water and water-Triton X-100 mixture, respectively. All the Pcs demonstrated high stability against decomposition under light irradiation, with a photodegradation quantum yield (Φd) in the range of 10−5. The indium(III) phthalocyanine presents a promising potential as a Type II photosensitizer candidate for photodynamic therapy in cancer treatment.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
