The photodynamic therapy (PDT) related photophysical properties of five palladium(II) porphyrins with increasing steric demand of the meso-substituents were investigated by steady state and time-resolved absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. The steric strain of the meso-substituents is reflected in a bathochromic shift of the B-band in the absorption spectra. In contrast to free-base porphyrins, the palladium(II) complexes exhibit only a very weak fluorescence with Φ Fl ~ 10-4. Instead, the corresponding triplet states of the porphyrins are formed via inter system crossing (ISC) with a quantum yield ΦISC of nearly unity. A phosphorescence quantum yield ΦISC of 10-4 was determined assuming dynamic quenching. The triplet state of all compounds is efficiently quenched by molecular oxygen, generating singlet molecular oxygen with a quantum yield of ΦΔ ~ 0.85. The various substitution patterns exerted no significant influence on the ISC rates or singlet oxygen quantum yields. Significant differences, on the other hand, were observed with respect to the triplet lifetimes, with a tendency of longer lifetimes for the porphyrins with sterically more demanding substituents (in air-saturated solution). All porphyrins were successfully incorporated into liposomes. The phototoxic activity of three compounds was investigated in cell suspensions. The use of the new porphyrinato-palladium(II) in PDT applications is discussed.

Abstract Participation of singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) in peroxidation of dopa and dopamine was studied by measurements of chemiluminescence spectra, the influence of solvents with various lifetime of O2 (1Δg) and O2 (1Δg)-quenchers on quantum yield of chemiluminescence. A decrease of absorption and fluorescence intensities of 1,3-diphenylizobenzofuran (DPBF) was also studied in the presence of dopa and dopamine oxidized with alkaline H2O2 as a criterion for the involvement of 1O2.
