- Description: Hydroxy aluminium octacarboxy phthalocyanine (Al(OH)OCPc) was conjugated with a diammine platinum complex to give conjugates containing two or three platinum complexes (represented as: Al(OH)OCPc(Pt)2 and Al(OH)OCPc(Pt)3). It was found that the complexes were soluble in water at a pH > 8.2. Both conjugates were found to have two fluorescence lifetimes. The triplet and singlet oxygen quantum yields increased for the conjugates compared to Al(OH)OCPc alone.

- Description: The combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy was investigated by the synthesis and characterisation of phthalocyanine conjugates with Pt complexes. The complexes synthesized are: hydroxoaluminum trikis(diaquaplatinum) octacarboxyphthalocyanine (OHAlOCPc(Pt)3) and hydroxoaluminum tetrakis(diaquaplatinum) octacarboxyphthalocyanine (OHAlOCPc(Pt)4). The platinated phthalocyanine complexes gave long triplet lifetimes of 577 and 526 μs for OHAlOCPc(Pt)3 and OHAlOCPc(Pt)4, respectively. The triplet quantum yields were found to be 0.45 for OHAlOCPc(Pt)3 and 0.57 OHAlOCPc(Pt)4 while the singlet oxygen quantum yields were found to be 0.38 and 0.48, respectively.
