Photophysical Properties of Zinc Tetracarboxy Phthalocyanines Conjugated to Magnetic Nanoparticles

Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesised by the co-precipitation method and coated with amino functional groups which allowed for amide bond formation with the carboxylic acid groups on zinc tetra- or octa-carboxyphthalocyanine (ZnTCPc or ZnOCPc respectively). The absorption spectra of ZnTCPc...
