- Description
- A novel asymmetrical zinc (II) phthalocyanine (Pc) 4 bearing three dimethoxy groups and one carboxyl group was linked to glutathione capped graphene quantum dots (GQDs) by the reaction of carboxylic acid substituent on Pc 4 with the amino group on the GQDs. On the other side, the symmetrical Pc analog 3 was linked to the same nanoparticles through π-π interactions. The as-formed nano-photosensitizers were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and their photophysicochemical properties were investigated as well. Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy was performed on the planktonic cells of S. aureus strain. And the results show that these nano assemblies were able to completely inhibit the metabolic activity of the resistant bacteria strain S. aureus with a 10.26 log reduction in the viable count. Again, asymmetrical Pc showed higher photocatalytic activity compared to the symmetrical complex with higher kobs and fast initial rates for the former. The photocatalysis obeyed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model. The target conjugates showed all the advantages of two different groups existing on a single entity.
