- Description: The present work reports on the synthesis and characterization of novel zinc (2) and indium (3) 2-amino-4-bromophenoxy substituted phthalocyanines (Pcs) along with the self-assembled nanoconjugates formed via π–π stacking interaction onto detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) to form 2@DNDs and 3@DNDs. 2@DNDs and 3@DNDs were covalently linked to chitosan–silver mediated nanoparticles (CSAg) to form 2@DNDs-CSAg and 3@DNDs-CSAg nanoconjugates. High singlet oxygen quantum yields in DMSO of 0.69 and 0.72 for Pcs alone and 0.90 and 0.92 for 2@DNDs-CSAg and 3@DNDs-CSAg, respectively, were obtained.

- Description: This work reports on the photophysical, nonlinear absorption and optical limiting properties of detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs)-silicon phthalocyanine nanoconjugate systems. Si(IV) hydroxide phthalocyanines employed are: 2,9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetrakis-(4-pyridyloxy) phthalocyaninato (Si(OH)2TPPc), 2,9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetrakis-(4-tert-butyl) phthalocyanato (Si(OH)2TBPc) and phthalocyanato(Si(OH)2Pc). Pcs were covalently linked to nanondiamonds and investigated using 532 nm laser excitation at 7 ns pulses for their optical limiting properties. Si(OH)2TBPc and Si(OH)2Pc gave larger triplet quantum yields when linked to DNDs, while the value decreased for Si(OH)2TPPc in the presence of DNDs due to aggregation. However all Pcs showed enhanced nonlinear optical properties in the presence of DNDs. DNDs-Si(OH)2TPPc and DNDs-Si (OH)2TBPc gave the highest imaginary third-order susceptibility (Im[X(3)]) and hyperpolarizability (γ) at 5.19 × 10−8 and 3.85 × 10−8 esu and 2.66 × 10−27 and 1.97 × 10−27 esu, respectively. DNDs-Si(OH)2TBPc nanoconjugates showed lowest limiting threshold (Ilim) value of 0.01 J.cm−2 relative to 0.09 for DNDs-Si (OH)2TPPc.

- Description: A positively charged phthalocyanine (2,9,16,23-tetrakis[4-(N-methylpyridyloxy)]-phthalocyanine (ZnTPPcQ)) was non-covalently linked to carbon based nanoparticles: detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs), carbon dots (CDs) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) to form nanosembles of DNDs-ZnTPPcQ, GQDs-ZnTPPcQ and CDs-ZnTPPcQ, respectively. Irrespective of its small size and the least number of Pcs (41.67 μg loading per milligram of DNDs), DNDs-ZnTPPcQ gave the highest singlet oxygen quantum yield (0.62) in dimethyl sulfoxide compared to the rest of the conjugates. This resulted in superior PDT activity against MCF7 breast cancer lines, with the lowest cell viability of 28% compared to ZnTPPcQ-CDs and ZnTPPcQ-GQDs at 30.1 ± 0.02% and 31.4 ± 0.23%, respectively.

- Description: An amide mono substituted benzothiozole phthalocyanine: zinc(II) 3-(4-((3,17,23-tris(4-(benzo [d]thiazol-2-yl)phenoxy)-9-yl)oxy) phenyl)amide phthalocyanine (NH2BzPc) was covalently linked to undoped and heteroatom doped detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs): B@DNDs, P@DNDs, S@DNDs, N@DNDs, and SandN@DNDs There is a drastic decrease in highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) – lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gaps for nanoconjugates compared to DNDs alone. B@DNDs-NH2BzPc, SandN@DNDs-NH2BzPc, and P@DNDs-NH2BzPc showed superior photodynamic therapy (PDT) effects. DNDs-NH2BzPc also had a small HOMO-LUMO gap, but did not show improved PDT activity compared to the Pc alone, suggesting doping of DNDs is important. This study shows improved PDT effect on Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 breast cancer lines at 7.63%, 7.62% and 6.5% cell viability for P@DNDs-NH2BzPc, SandN@DNDs-NH2BzPc and B@DNDs-NH2BzPc, respectively.
