In this study, novel peripherally ferulic acid tetra-substituted
Zn(II) phthalocyanine was synthesized for the first time. The synthesized phthalocyanine
was characterized by elemental analysis, Infrared spectroscopy, UV-vis
spectroscopy, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF MS techniques. The photophysical,
photochemical and aggregation properties of this phthalocyanine were also investigated
in DMSO and DMF solvents. The aggregation studies showed that the synthesized
Zn(II) phthalocyanine has not aggregated in DMSO and DMF. Fluorescence quantum
yield (ΦF: 0.23 in DMSO and 0.17 in
DMF), singlet oxygen quantum yield (Φ∆:0.57 in DMSO and 0.45 in
DMF) and photodegradation quantum yield (Φd:1.08x10-5 in DMSO and 4.48x10-5 in DMF) were also determined. These results show that the synthesized
phthalocyanine has potential use in photodynamic therapy.
