For many years, the research on conjugated polymers (CPs) has been mainly focused on their application in organic electronics. Recent works, however, show that due to the unique optical and photophysical properties of CPs, such as high absorption in UV–Vis or even near-infrared (NIR) region and efficient intra-/intermolecular energy transfer, which can be relatively easily optimized, CPs can be considered as an effective light-activated source of versatile and highly reactive singlet oxygen for medical or catalytic use. The aim of this short review is to present the novel possibilities that lie dormant in those exceptional polymers with the extended system of π-conjugated bonds.

AbstractPeripherally and non-peripherally tetrasubstituted-[(N-methyl-2-pyridylthio)]phthalocyaninato magnesium (II) (5 and 6) and chloro aluminium (III) (7 and 8) tetraiodide have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical properties of the complexes in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and aqueous medium in the presence and absence of cremophore EL have been studied. These complexes show high solubility in aqueous medium though they were aggregated. The triplet state quantum yields (FT) and the triplet lifetimes (tT) were found to be higher in DMSO with ΦT ranging from 0.32 to 0.51, while tT ranged from 282 to 622 ms in DMSO, compared to aqueous medium (pH 7.4 buffer) where ΦT ranged from 0.15 to 0.19 and tT from 26 to 35 ms. Addition of cremophore EL in aqueous solution resulted in partial disaggregation and increased photoactivity. The fluorescence lifetimes of the complexes showed strong dependence on their immediate environment. The ionic magnesium(II) and aluminium(III) phthalocyanines strongly bind to bovine serum albumin (BSA).

AbstractA new Schiff base, 4-allylamine-N-(N-5-methylsalicylidene)-1,8-naphthalimide (1), has been designed and synthesized by combining a 1,8-naphthalimide moiety as a fluorophore and a Schiff base as a recognition group. Its photophysical properties were investigated by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, and this sensor exhibits a high fluorescence quantum yield of 0.75–0.91 inorganic solvents of different polarity. It also shows high selectivity for Cu2+ over other ions with fluorescence quenching in aqueous medium (pH=7.2). The reason for this phenomenon (fluorescence quenching) is attributed to the formation of a 1:1 complex between 1 and Cu2+ according to the Job plot and fluorescence titration. The sensor can be applied to the quantification of Cu2+ in a linear fashion from 0.5 to 5 μM with a detection limit of 0.23 μM. Additionally, the association constant (Ka) between Cu2+ and 1 is 1.328×106 M−1 in aqueous media.
