TL;DR: The different types of water-soluble phthalocyanines are presented and their synthesis is reviewed in this article, where the synthesis process is described in detail and the synthesis is discussed.

TL;DR: These zinc(II) phthalocyanine complexes showed high triplet and singlet oxygen quantum yields, which are very important for Type II mechanism, and show potential as Type II photosensitizers.

TL;DR: A complete set of platinum(II) solketal substituted phthalocyanines has been synthesized and characterized in this paper, and a comparative study of their photophysical and photochemical properties with analogous zinc-II series has been achieved: electronic absorption, fluorescence quantum yields, lifetimes, and fluorescence quenching by benzoquinone, as well as singlet oxygen generation and photodegradation.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the relevance of the non-peripherally substituted derivative of three Zn(II) phthalocyanines substituted by hydroxyl-terminated tetraethylene glycol chains for in vivo investigations of type II-photosensitisers for photodynamic therapy.

TL;DR: The new tetra-non-peripheral and peripheral 2-mercaptopyridine substituted gallium( III) and indium(III) phthalocyanine complexes and their quaternized derivatives and theirquinized derivatives have been synthesized and characterized.
