Because of its large conjugated system,phthalocyanine complexes have been widely used in catalysis,photoelectric conversion,and biomedicine.Phthalocyanine complexes can be synthesized by many methods such as coordination insertion method,direct substitution method,and template reaction method.The applications of phthalocyanine complexes have been reported in tumor diagnosis and treatment mainly including photoacoustic imaging (PAI),magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),photodynamic therapy (PDT),and photo thermal therapy (PTT).Here,the recent advances in synthesis and biomedical applications of phthalocyannine complexes were reviewed.
