Background: The development of new water-soluble photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications is a very active research topic. Efforts have been made to obtain the far-red absorbing phthalocyanine complexes with molecular design that facilitates the uptake and selectivity for a high PDT efficiency.
Methods: The monomolecular lutetium(III) acetate phthalocyanines (LuPcs) substituted with methylpyridyloxy groups at non-peripheral (5) and peripheral (6) positions were synthesized by following the modification of the well-known synthetical routes. The photo-physicochemical properties of the both quaternized LuPcs were evaluated by the steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy. The photochemical technique was applied to study the generation of the singlet oxygen.
Results: Two water-soluble and cationic LuPcs were synthesized and chemically characterized. The photo-physicochemical properties of absorption (675 and 685nm) and the red shifted fluorescence (704 and 721nm) as well as the fluorescence lifetimes (2.24 and 3.27ns) were studied. The promising values of singlet oxygen quantum yields (0.32 for 5 and 0.35 for 6) were determined.
Conclusions: Lutetium(III) acetate phthalocyanine complexes were synthesized and evaluated with physicochemical properties suitable for future photodynamic therapy applications.

Ethylendiaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) substituted and diethylenetriaminopentaacetic acid (DTPA) substituted aminated free-base tetraphenylporphyrins (H2ATPP) and the corresponding lutetium(III) complexes have been studied computationally at the density functional theory (DFT) and second-order algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC(2)) levels using triple-ξ basis sets augmented with polarization functions. The molecular structures were optimized using Becke's three-parameter hybrid functional (B3LYP). The electronic excitation spectra in the range of 400-700 nm were calculated using the ADC(2) and the linear-response time-dependent DFT methods.

A new sandwich-tpype dilutetium tetraphthalocyanine 4 has been synthesized by the reaction of dimeric lutetium(III) phthalocyanine 3 with two equiv. of dilithium octakishexylthiophthalocyanine in amyl alcohol. Compound 3 was prepared from 4',5',4",5"-tetraiminoisoindoline(1,4,7,10-tetrathia-12-crown-4) 1, 4,5-bis(hexylthio)-1,2-diiminoisoindoline and lutetium acetate in amyl alcohol.
