Treatment of 5,10,15,20-tetra(pentafluorophenyl) porphyrins with polyethylene glycol (PEG) halides and sodium sulfide is a mild and efficient route to water-soluble PEG substituted porphyrins. The method has been used to access a series of free-base...

Glycerol and galactose substituted zinc phthalocyanines. Synthesis and photodynamic activity (2009)
Journal Article
Zorlu, Y., Ermeydan, M. A., Dumoulin, F., Ahsen, V., Savoie, H., & Boyle, R. W. (2009). Glycerol and galactose substituted zinc phthalocyanines. Synthesis and photodynamic activity. Photochemical & photobiological sciences : an international journal, 8(3), 312-318. https://doi.org/10.1039/b817348f

Three novel water soluble, non-ionic, zinc phthalocyanines (Pcs) have been synthesized and their spectroscopic and photodynamic properties investigated in aqueous media. One of the three compounds was shown to be significantly less aggregated, when c... Read More about Glycerol and galactose substituted zinc phthalocyanines. Synthesis and photodynamic activity.
