Photophysical and photochemical studies of long chain-substituted zinc phthalocyanines

Photochemical and photophysical measurements were conducted on peripheral and non-peripheral tetra(13,17-dioxanonacosane-15-hydroxy)-substituted zinc phthalocyanines (1, 2). General trends are described for quantum yields of photodegradation, fluorescence yields, triplet lifetimes and triplet quantum yields as well as singlet quantum yields of these compounds in dimethylformamide (DMF) and toluene. The effects of the solvents on the photophysical and photochemical parameters of the zinc(II) phthalocyanines (1, 2) are reported.
