- Description: The effects of formation of cyclodextrin inclusion complexes on the photochemical and photophysical properties of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and various peripherally substituted zinc phthalocyanines as well as zinc naphthalocyanine (ZnNPc) are investigated. The cyclodextrins employed were the hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin and unsubstituted β-cyclodextrin. Job's plots were employed to confirm the stoichiometry of the inclusion complexes and showed 2:1 and 4:1 (cyclodextrin:phthalocyanine) inclusion behavior. The phthalocyanine inclusion complexes showed larger singlet oxygen quantum yield (ϕΔ) values when compared to the free phthalocyanines before inclusion, for complexes 1 (zinc naphthalocyanine), 2 (zinc tetranitrophthalocyanine) and 4 (zinc tetra-tert-butylphenoxyphthalocyanine). The fluorescence quantum yields generally remained unchanged following inclusion.

- Description: Binuclear ZnPc complexes covalently bridged by catechol units have been synthesized and their absorption and photochemical properties examined. The complexes studied are 1,2-bis-2',9',16',23'-triphenoxyphthalocyaninatozinc benzene (6a), 1,2-bis-2'-9',16',23'-tri-4-carboxyphe-noxyphthalocyaninatozinc benzene (6b), 1,2-bis-2',9',16',23'-tri-4-nitrophenoxyphthalocyaninato- zinc benzene (6c) and 1,2-bis-2'-9',16',23'-tri-4-tert-butylphenoxyphthalocyaninatozinc benzene (6d). Larger intramolecular coupling was observed for 6b and 6c, containing the carboxyphenoxy and nitrophenoxy substituents, respectively, than for 6a and 6d. A single Q band peak was observed for the fluorescence spectra of 6b and 6c, whereas, 6a and 6d showed a split Q band. The absence of the high energy fluorescence peaks corresponding to absorbance peaks in the 640 nm region, suggests that the intramolecular coupling is broken by excitation for complexes 6b and 6c.
