Low symmetry metallophthalocyanines and their nanoparticle conjugates for photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy

This thesis reports on the syntheses of novel low symmetrically substituted Zn, Sn, Ge and Ti MPc complexes containing a single carboxylic or cysteinyl group available for attachments to MNPs. The complexes were extensively characterized by various techniques to ensure their purity. Various metallic...
