The photophysical properties of a new series of fluorenyl porphyrins bearing water-solubilising oligoethyleneglycol chains are described. These biocompatible compounds present very good two-photon absorption and singlet oxygen generation properties, while retaining some fluorescence in water. After testing in vitro on breast cancer cells, some of them were shown to be efficient non-toxic two-photon photosensitisers allowing for fluorescence imaging, thus demonstrating their theranostic potential.
