The syntheses of a novel 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octahexyloxy-2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl) phthalocyanine (3a) and its zinc(II) phthalocyanine derivative (3b) have been described and characterized by elemental analysis,1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR, mass, UV-Vis and FT-IR. The newly prepared metal-free phthalocyanine and its zinc(II) counterpart are soluble in most organic solvents. The photophysical and photochemical properties such as aggregation, fluorescence, singlet oxygen generation and photodegradation under light irradiation of these phthalocyanines have been investigated in DMF. The hexadeca-substituted phthalocyanines (3a and 3b) showed longer absorption and emission wavelength values when compared to that of reported phthalocyanine derivatives due to substitution of the all possible positions in the phthalocyanine framework. The zinc(II) phthalocyanine derivative does not only have a good singlet oxygen generation but also has other photophysicochemical properties that enables this phthalocyanine to be useful as a photosensitizer for cancer treatment using photodynamic therapy.

Novel metal-free (7) and zinc(II) (8) phthalocyanine derivatives bearing four substituted triptycene moieties were synthesized and fully characterized by various spectroscopic methods including 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass, FT-IR and UV-vis. Photophysical and photochemical properties such as electronic absorption, fluorescence emission, fluorescence lifetimes and singlet oxygen generation were investigated in toluene. The UV-vis spectra of 7 and 8 exhibited absorption bands in the visible region. The fluorescence lifetimes of 7 and 8 phthalocyanines were found to be 6.2 and 3.6 ns, respectively. The ability of the examined zinc(II) (8) and metal-free (7) to produce the singlet oxygen has been determined by both chemical and direct methods. While the chemical method 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as a singlet oxygen quencher was used in the first method, the direct determination has been done by recording the weak emission band of the singlet oxygen in the near-infrared region (1270 nm). From the direct process, the quantum yields of the singlet oxygen were found to be 0.28 (for 7) and 0.60 (for 8) and similar values were also obtained by the chemical method. The fluorescence quenching behavior of the studied phthalocyanine compounds (8 and 7) by electron-accepting 1,4 benzoquinone (BQ) was also studied in toluene. The powerful nanosecond laser flash photolysis technique was also employed to record the transient absorption spectra of the long-lived triplet states of the investigated compounds.
