phthalocyanines and their quaternized derivatives were synthesized. The phthalocyanines
were fully characterized by different spectroscopic methods such as UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1 H NMR
and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The quaternized phthalocyanines showed solubility in
DMSO and water within a wide concentration range and with lack of aggregation behavior.
The singlet oxygen generation properties were determined for quaternized phthalocyanine …
