- Description
- This study reports on novel phthalocyanines having benzimidazole units which are known to have biological properties. 4-(4-(5-chloro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) substituted metal-free, Zn(II), In(III) and Ga(III) phthalocyanines were synthesized, these newly synthesized molecules that were substituted by oxygen bridges were fully characterized. For the purpose of determining their potency for photodynamic therapy, the photophysicochemical properties were investigated in DMSO. The H2Pc (4) showed higher fluorescence quantum yield and fluorescence lifetime as compared to metallated phthalocyanines derivatives. However, the highest singlet oxygen (ΦΔ) and triplet state quantum yields (ΦT) values were obtained with the In(III)Pc (5).
