- Description: Three non-peripherally substituted tin(IV) macrocylic compounds, octahexylphthalocyaninato dichlorotin(IV) (3a), octahexyltetrabenzo-5,10,15- triazaporphyrinato dichlorotin(IV) (3b) and octadecylphthalocyaninato dichlorotin(IV) (3c) were synthesized and their photophysical and electrochemical behavior studied. Complex 3b, containing a CH group in place of one of the aza nitrogen atoms of the phthalocyanine core, shows a split Q-band due to its lower symmetry. The triplet state quantum yields were found to be lower than would be expected on the basis of the heavy atom effect of tin as the central metal for phthalocyanine derivatives (3a and 3c). In contrast, 3b shows a triplet quantum yield ΦT = 0.78. The triplet state lifetimes were solvent dependent, and were higher in tetrahydrofuran than in toluene. Cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry of the complexes revealed only ring-based redox processes.

- Description: Spectral, photophysical, photochemical and bovine serum albumin binding studies on some gallium(III) derivatives - {1,(4)-(tetrapyridyloxyphthalocyaninato)gallium(III), (αGaPc); 2,(3)-(tetrapyridyloxyphthalocyaninato)gallium(III), (βGaPc); and their quaternized derivatives: QαGaPc and QβGaPc)} are hereby presented. β-Substituted complexes are more fluorescent, but show lower tendencies to undergo intersystem crossing than the α-substituted, as judged by their fluorescence and triplet quantum yield values. The quaternized derivatives (QGaPc) are water-soluble and non-aggregated, which makes them potential photosensitizers of choice for photodynamic therapy applications; these amphiphilic compounds also bind strongly to bovine serum albumin in 1:1 stoichiometries, and with binding constants (Kb) in the order of 106 M−1.
