This Article describes for the first time the formation of a supramolecular self-assembled monolayer of polymeric phthalocyanine (poly(CuPc)) onto a gold substrate. The latter is established through the interaction of the cyano group, belonging to the poly(CuPc), with the metal substrate. The functionalized gold substrate was characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and electrochemical methods. Results clearly demonstrated the interaction between gold and the nitrogen atom of cyano group and showed at the same time the formation of a completely covered polymeric monolayer on the gold surface. In addition, the modified gold surface seems to exhibit a reversible redox behavior and is found to act as an electronic conductor, which allows rapid electron transfer. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyses in the presence of [Fe(CN)(6)](3-/4-) as a redox couple revealed that the modified electrode showed a much lower electron transfer resistance compared with bare gold. In addition, the modified electrode is found to catalyze the H(2)O(2) reduction very effectively, showing a catalytic current that varies linearly with the peroxide concentration in the range of 0.35 to 70 μM with a detection limit of 0.25 μM.

Photocrosslinkable hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid are promising biomaterials high in demand in tissue engineering. Typically, hydrogels are photocured under the action of UV or blue light strongly absorbed by biotissues, which limits prototyping under living organism conditions. To overcome this limitation, we propose the derivatives of well-known photosensitizers, namely chlorin , chlorin and phthalocyanine, as those for radical polymerization in the transparency window of biotissues.

Tumor hypoxia is one of key challenges in deep tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT), and how to fix this issue is attracting ongoing concerns worldwide. This work demonstrates dually fluorinated unimolecular micelles with desirable and stable oxygen-carrying capacity, high cellular penetration, and integrative type I & II PDT for deep hypoxic tumors. Dually fluorinated star copolymers with fluorinated phthalocyanines as the core are prepared through photoinitiated electron/energy transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization under irradiation with NIR LED light at room temperature, followed by assembly into unimolecular micelles.

Novel pH-sensitive polymeric photosensitizer carriers from the phthalocyanine (Pc) group were investigated as potential photodynamic therapy drugs for the treatment of breast cancer. Their high antiproliferative activity was confirmed by photocytotoxicity studies, which indicated their high efficacy and specificity toward the SK-BR-3 cell line. Importantly, the Pcs encapsulated in the polymeric nanoparticle (NP) carrier exhibited a much better penetration into the acidic environment of tumor cells than their free form.

Phthalocyanine derivative nanostructures are highly organized organometallic structures that exhibit two-dimensional polymeric phthalocyanine frameworks. We analyze phthalocyanine using the Zagreb-type indices, which offer important insights into the topological characteristics of the molecular structure. Furthermore, we use Pearson correlation analysis to examine the degree of relationship between various structural features and qualities.
