Abstract
A synthesis of a novel zinc phthalocyanine with four 3-[(2-diethylamino)ethyl]-7-oxo-4-methylcoumarin dye groups at the non-peripheral positions was performed and characterized. The photophysical and photochemical properties of the peripherally ( p) and non-peripherally ( np) tetra-3-[(2-diethylamino)ethyl]-7-oxo-4-methylcoumarin substituted zinc (II) phthalocyanines are reported. The effects of the position of the substituents and the aggregation on the photophysical/photochemical properties of these complexes are also investigated. General trends are described for photodegredation, singlet oxygen and fluorescence quantum yields, and fluorescence lifetimes in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) for np-ZnPc and in both DMSO and DMSO + Triton-X 100 solutions for p-ZnPc. The fluorescence of the tetra-substituted zinc phthalocyanine complexes ( np-ZnPc and p-ZnPc) are effectively quenched addition of 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ).
