- Description: Asymmetric indium phthalocyanine (3, containing an NH2 group) was conjugated (via an amide bond) to magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) functionalized with carboxylic acid or glutathione-capped CdTe/ZnSe/ZnO quantum dots to form 3-MNPs or 3-QDs. Techniques such as time-resolved fluorescence measurements, transmission electron microscopy, XPS, elemental analysis, FTIR, NMR (1H, 13C, and cozy), electronic spectroscopy, as well as mass spectroscopy were employed to characterize 3 and its nanoconjugates. The phthalocyanine conjugated to quantum dot (3-QDs) possesses the lowest Фpd higher Ф∆ and ФT as well as longer triplet lifetimes compares to 3-MNPs and free phthalocyanine.

- Description: An AB3 type photosensitiser, consisting of 4-pyridylsulfanyl units (denoted as B3) and one aminophenoxy (denoted as A) group (complex 3) was synthesized. Complex 3 was then quaternized to form complex 4. The aminophenoxy substituent of complex 3 was used for the formation of the amide linkage with the carboxylic functionalised magnetic nanoparticles. Complexes 3 and 4 and their conjugates with magnetic nanoparticles were then used for photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy on E. coli. The cationic photosensitiser 4 showed a high efficiency for photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy at a very low concentration compared to its conjugate on E. coli.
