TL;DR: In this paper, the single oxygen quantum yields of different phthalocyanines and tris(2,2″-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) dichloride in dimethylformamide (DMF) or aqueous micellar solution of 0.1 M CTAC (cetyltrimethylammonium chloride).
Abstract: The singlet oxygen luminescence method and the photochemical methods using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) or bilirubin ditaurate (BDT) as chemical quenchers were employed to determine the single oxygen quantum yields (ΦΔ) of different phthalocyanines and tris(2,2″-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) dichloride in dimethylformamide (DMF) or aqueous micellar solution of 0.1 M CTAC (cetyltrimethylammonium chloride). Additionally, a perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide derivative was examined in DMF. In a series of tetrasulfonated phthalocyanines (PTS) the following order was found: ZnPTS > GaPTS > AlPTS ≈ H2PTS > CoPTS. In general, the singlet oxygen quantum yields are higher in DMF than in 0.1 M CTAC/H2O. The results obtained with the photochemical systems are comparable with those obtained by the photophysical method. The photochemical DPBF method results in absolute values of ΦΔ. However, in micellar solution, chain reactions occur when DPBF is used as chemical quencher in the photo-oxidative process. This problem ...

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes recent advances in the use of porphyrins, phthalocyanines, and related compounds as components of solar cells, including organic molecular solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cells.
Abstract: This review summarizes recent advances in the use of porphyrins, phthalocyanines, and related compounds as components of solar cells, including organic molecular solar cells, polymer cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells. The recent report of a porphyrin dye that achieves 11% power conversion efficiency in a dye-sensitized solar cell indicates that these classes of compounds can be as efficient as the more commonly used ruthenium bipyridyl derivatives.

TL;DR: The present paper reviews phthalocyanine pre-clinical anti-cancer research with emphasis on phthalcyanine induced apoptosis using a silicon phthalicyanine, Pc4, and a brief summary of the latest clinical results using phthalOCyanines is presented.
Abstract: Photodynamic therapy is a binary treatment now accepted in clinic for various malignancies in several countries around the world. Phthalocyanine molecules are second-generation photosensitizers with enhanced photophysical and photochemical properties over those of porphyrins. They have been shown to be phototoxic against a number of cell types and tumor models. A great deal of research has been devoted to the elucidation of their mechanism of action and mode of cell death. The present paper reviews phthalocyanine pre-clinical anti-cancer research with emphasis on phthalocyanine induced apoptosis using a silicon phthalocyanine, Pc4. A brief summary of the latest clinical results using phthalocyanines is presented.

TL;DR: In the visible region, phthalocyanines are limited to blue, cyan and green colours, but their absorption may be extended into the near infrared and by suitable chemical engineering it is possible to fingerprint the 700-1000 nm region as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Phthalocyanines are the second most important class of colorant, and copper phthalocyanine is the single largest-volume colorant sold. Traditional uses of phthalocyanine colorants are as blue and green pigments for automotive paints and printing inks and as blue/cyan dyes for textiles and paper. Phthalocyanines have also found extensive use in many of the modern high technologies, e.g. as cyan dyes for ink jet printing, in electrophotography as charge generation materials for laser printers and as colorants for cyan toners. In the visible region, phthalocyanines are limited to blue, cyan and green colours. However, their absorption may be extended into the near infrared and by suitable chemical engineering it is possible to fingerprint the 700-1000 nm region. The properties and effects of these infrared-absorbing phthalocyanines are diverse and cover many important hi-tech applications, including photodynamic therapy, optical data storage, reverse saturable absorbers and solar screens.
