Syntheses of octasubstituted zinc azaphthalocyanines with thiophene or thiophene combined with sulfanyl, amino or imido substituents: Influence of the substituents on photochemical and photophysical properties

Abstract

Several octasubstituted zinc azaphthalocyanines were synthesized as potential sensitizers for photodynamic therapy and their structure activity relationships were discussed

Keywords
