Electrocatalytic and photosensitizing behavior of metallophthalocyanine complexes [PDF]

, 2008
Electrocatalytic or photosensitizing (photocatalytic) properties of metallophthalocyanine (MPc) complexes are dependent on the central metal. Electrocatalytic behavior is observed for electroactive central metals such as Co, Mn and Fe, whereas ...

Photosensitizing proteins for antibacterial photodynamic inactivation [PDF]

, 2020
We review recent applications of water-soluble proteins as carriers for photosensitizing molecules in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). The low water solubility of photosensitizers and their tendency to aggregate often impair their photophysics,

An integrated photosensitizing/adsorbent material for the removal of triclosan from water samples

, 2020
Triclosan, a recalcitrant micropollutant linked to antimicrobial resistance, is not completely eliminated during wastewater treatment, reason why it has become ubiquitous, causing serious environmental problems.

Activatable Photosensitizers: Agents for Selective Photodynamic Therapy [PDF]

Advanced Functional Materials, 2016
Recent developments in the design of bifunctional and activatable photosensitizers rejuvenate the aging field of photodynamic sensitization and photodynamic therapy. While systematic studies have uncovered new dyes that can serve as potential photosensitizers, the most promising results have come from studies aimed at gaining precise control over the ...
