The phthalocyanines applications in photodynamic therapy investigated by time-resolved and steady-state photothermal methods

The time-resolved photothermal methods are used in order to establish the yield of intersystem (singlet-triplet) crossing of dyes that are candidates for the application in photodynamic therapy. It is known that molecules with long living triplet state cause efficient photosensitization by direct in...
