Abstract :In this study, novel peripherally ferulic acid tetra-substituted Zninsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(II); phthalocyanine was synthesized for the first time. The synthesized phthalocyanine was characterized by elemental analysis, Infrared spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, 1 H-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 Zninsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(II); phthalocyanine has not aggregated in DMSO and DMF. Fluorescence quantum yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Φ F : 0.23 in DMSO and 0.17 in DMF);, singlet oxygen quantum yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Φ ∆ :0.57 in DMSO and 0.45 in DMF); and photodegradation quantum yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Φ d :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.
