Abstract

Photodynamic therapy can destruct tumor cells by singlet oxygen which is generated via a photodynamic reaction of the photosensitizer under a specfic excitation wavelength. Due to the heavy atom effect of metal iridium,iridiumcomplexes are excited by suitable light and then reach their excited triple state through intersystem crossing. The excited iridium complexes transfer energy to oxygen molecules to produce singlet oxygen for photodynamic therapy.
