New nonperipherally and peripherally tetrasubstituted zinc(II) phthalocyanine complexes containing 1-benzylpiperidin-4-ol groups and their quaternized derivatives are reported in this work. These complexes were characterized successfully and their photophysical and photochemical properties were studied. These properties were determined in dimethylsulfoxide for all studied complexes and in water and water $+$ Triton X-100 solutions for ionic Zn(II) phthalocyanines. All studied zinc(II) phthalocyanine complexes generated high singlet oxygen, especially in dimethylsulfoxide, and these properties make them potential photosensitizers for use in the photodynamic therapy of cancer. The effects of the position and quaternization of the substituents on the photophysical and photochemical properties were …

The synthesis and characterization of novel tetraalkylthio (SC$_{6}$H$_{13}$ or SC$_{12}$H$_{25})$ substituted $\mu $-oxo silicon(IV) phthalocyanines (3a and 3b) and their $\mu$-oxo derivatives (4a and 4b) were described in this study. These silicon(IV) phthalocyanines were characterized using different spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Vis, $^{1}$H NMR, FT-IR, and mass and elemental analysis, as well. Furthermore, the photophysical (fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes) and photochemical (singlet oxygen generation) properties of the newly synthesized silicon(IV) phthalocyanines (3a, 3b, 4a, and 4b) were investigated in dimethylformamide solution. The absorption and fluorescence excitation wavelengths of the studied silicon(IV) phthalocyanines were blue-shifted when they converted to their …
