The ability to form triplet excited states upon two-photon excitation is important for several
applications of metalloporphyrins, including two-photon phosphorescence lifetime …

We describe here the development of time-correlated single-photon counting techniques
from the early use of spark discharge lamps as light sources through to the use of …

Oxidation of cellular structures is typically an undesirable process that can be a hallmark of
certain diseases. On the other hand, photooxidation is a necessary step of photodynamic …

A highly efficient bifunctional mesoporous silica nanodevice coupling optical imaging with
photodynamic therapy (PDT) was successfully prepared by using Rhodamine B as a …

A complete one-and two-photon spectroscopic and photophysical characterization of three
diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)–porphyrin conjugates is reported. The increased conjugation …

Selected singlet oxygen photosensitizers have been examined from the perspective of
obtaining a molecule that is sufficiently stable under conditions currently employed to study …

Chlorin e6 is a tricarboxylic acid degradation product of chlorophyll a. Four chlorin e6 bis
(amino acid) conjugates were regioselectively synthesized bearing two aspartate …

An unsymmetrical phthalocyanine conjugated with an RGDyK moiety (6) was synthesized
