This review starts from a brief historical account devoted to the principles of the Bach-Engler
peroxidation theory and experiments and ideas which led AN Bach to its creation. Then, the …

Structural and optical properties as well as photophysical and photochemical parameters
(excited S1 and T1 state lifetimes at 77 K and in the presence of O2 in solution at 293 K; …

It is recognized that chlorin e6–polyvinylpyrrolidone (Ce6–PVP) formulations are
characterized by a high efficacy in photodynamic therapy of malignant tumors. Currently, a …

Since photodynamic therapy emerged as a promising cancer treatment, the development of
photosensitizers has gained great interest. In this context, the photosynthetic pigments …

Light-induced radical generation is the hallmark of fundamental processes and many
applications including photosynthesis and photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this manuscript …

The synthesis methods for the indotricarbocyanine dyes covalently bonded to polyethylene
glycols with varying degrees of polymerization have been developed. New …

We report on the results of a detailed quantitative experimental evaluation of exciton
relaxation pathways as well as direct measurement of singlet oxygen (1O2) generation …

Steady-state and time-resolved studies indicate that for a sequence of porphyrin or chlorin
chemical dimers Zn-cyclodimer→(ZnOEP) 2Ph→(ZnOEP) 2→(ZnHTPP) 2→(ZnOEChl) 2 …

The excess oxygen concentration in the photosynthetic membranes of functioning oxygenic
photosynthetic cells was estimated using classical diffusion theory combined with …

At the moment, though several examples of employing QDs for the photodynamic therapy
(PDT) have been described, their full capabilities have yet to be harnessed, and QD …
