- Description
- This work reports on the synthesis and characterization of novel acetophenone substituted phthalocyanines along with the self-assembled nanoconjugates formed via π-π stacking interaction between the synthesized unmetalated (2), zinc (3) and indium (4) phthalocyanines and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) to form 2@GQDs, 3@GQDs and 4@GQDs. The complexes and conjugates exhibited high singlet oxygen ranging from 0.20 to 0.79 in DMSO for Pcs and nanoconjugates where in all cases, the indium complexes showed the highest singlet oxygen quantum yields. The photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy activity of both phthalocyanines and nanoconjugates were tested against Staphylococcus aureus. 4@GQDs was found to be highly effective causing a 9.68 log reduction of the bacteria at 10 μM (based on Pc) when compared to 3.77 log reduction of 3@GQDs.
