Self‐Assembled Binaphthyl‐Bridged Amphiphilic AABB Phthalocyanines: Nanostructures for Efficient Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy

Herein, the photodynamic activity of phthalocyanine (pc)‐assembled nanoparticles against bacterial strains is demonstrated. The photosensitizers (PS) studied in this work are two chiral Zn II Pcs ( PS‐1 and PS‐2 ), with an AABB geometry (where A and B refer to differently substituted isoindole constituents). They contain differently functionalized, chiral binaphthyloxy‐linked A isoindole units, which determine the hydrophobicity of the system,...
