- Description: In this work, Schiff base indium phthalocyanines: In–Cl tetrakis N,N-dimethyl-4-(methylimino) phthalocyanine (complex 1b) and In–Cl tetrakis phenoxy N,N-dimethyl-4-(methylimino) phthalocyanine (complex 2b) are synthesized from tetra amino and tetra phenoxy amino phthalocyanines, respectively. These complexes were further quartenised with 1,3-propanesultone to form zwitterionic complexes 1 and 2, respectively. Silver–iron dimers (Ag–Fe3O4) and silver-iron core shell (Ag@Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) were linked to the synthesised complexes. The photophysical and photochemical behaviour of the complexes and their conjugates with NPs were investigated in dimethyl sulfoxide. Complexes 2 and 2b and their conjugates were then used for photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy on Escherichia coli. The zwitter ionic photosensitiser 2 and its conjugates showed better efficiency for photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy compared to their neutral counterparts.

- Description: In this work, low symmetry Zn mono caffeic acid tri-tert butyl (1) and Zn monocarboxyphenoxy tri-(tert-butylphenoxyl) (2) phthalocyanines (Pcs) were covalently linked to amino (using glutathione, GSH, or 3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, APTES) functionalised nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are represented as: AgNPs-GSH, SiNPs-APTES, Fe3O4-Ag-SiNPs-APTES and Fe3O4-AgNPs-GSH). The photophysical and photochemical behaviour of the complexes 1 and 2 and their conjugates with nanoparticles were investigated in dimethyl sulfoxide. The conjugates of the Pc complexes with the NPs afforded increase in triplet quantum yields with corresponding decrease in fluorescence quantum yield compared to the Pc complexes alone. The conjugates of 1-AgNPs-GSH, 2-SiNPs-APTES and 2-Fe3O4-Ag-SiNPs-APTES showed higher singlet oxygen quantum yield values as compared to the Pc complexes alone.
