Owing to their extraordinary photoproperties, phthalocyanines are excellent photosensitisers for anti-cancer photodynamic therapy [1-2]. The undesired tendency of phthalocyanines to aggregate can be limited by using axial substituents that can be inserted on some metals and semi-metals, such as Si and Ru. In order to compare three structural parameters, a full series of phthalocyanines have been designed:
1. Preparation of Si / Ru phthalocyanine derivatives for the examination of the impact of heavy atoms on their fluorescence and singlet oxygen generation ability. 2. Synthesis of phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanine structures for the investigation of the enhanced electronic delocalization on the red-shifting of their maximum absorption. 3. Use of small and bulky axial substituent for the modulation of their aggregation. As these phthalocyanines are hydrophobic, they have been encapsulated into poly(malic acid) based nanoparticles for increasing solubility in water and improving their photophysico-chemical properties.
