Synthesis and photophysical properties of metallophthalocyanines substituted with a benzofuran based fluoroprobe.
    Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 2012, Volume: 93

    The synthesis, characterization and photophysical properties of the tetra- {6-(-benzofuran-2-carboxylate)-hexylthio} substituted copper(II), cobalt(II), manganese(III) and zinc (II) phthalocyanines, {M[Pc(β-S(CH(2))(6)OCOBz-Furan)(4)], which were derived from 6-(3,4-dicyanophenylthio)-hexyl-2-benzofuranate (BzF) (1-4) are reported for the first time. The new compounds have been synthesized and fully characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-vis, (1)H- and (13)C NMR, MS (Maldi-TOF). In this work, we also report the effects of peripherally bound BzF substituent on the photophysical properties of metallo phthalocyanine derivatives. The effects of changing the central metal ions on quantum yield are discussed. It was found that the substitution of BzF groups on the framework of phthalocyanines diminished the fluorescence quantum yield of these complexes depending on paramagnetic behavior of central metal atoms. In addition, central metal atoms like Co and Cu also caused to decrease in quantum yield of phthalocyanine backbone.

Photobleaching of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran by novel phthalocyanine dye derivatives.
    Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. B, Biology, 1992, Jul-15, Volume: 14, Issue:3

    As part of a wider programme to identify novel photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, the ability of a number of phthalocyanine dyes, including some novel copper phthalocyanine derivatives with a range of water solubilities, to produce potentially cytotoxic species in solution was examined. The experiments were performed in dimethylformamide using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPIBF) as the scavenger. The study revealed that all the dyes tested produced DPIBF photobleaching on illumination in vitro, but with widely different (greater than 12x) rates. The possible correlation of DPIBF photobleaching rates with a number of the dyes' properties is discussed.
