It was found that the weakly fluorescent trans-2(4′-N,N-dimethylaminostyryl)- pyridinium betaine dyestuff (1) becomes efficiently fluorescent in very viscous media. The fluorescence quantum yield (φF) for dyestuff (1) approaches unity in ethanol–ether (1 : 1) glass at 98 K. Moreover, the fluorescence wave-length is blue shifted (1874 cm−1) when the temperature is lowered to 98 K. The results are rationalized as being due to solvent viscosity dependent rate constant for a radiationless internal conversion process, involving rotation of the different parts of the molecule, a free rotor effect. The rate of internal rotation was estimated to be 3.4 × 1011 s−1. The results suggest that this molecule can be used as a fluorescent probe to study microscopic structural changes in surrounding media occurring on the picosecond time scale.

This work describes the synthesis, spectral and fluorescence properties of bis 4-(4-formyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy) substituted zinc (ZnPc) and magnesium (MgPc) phthalocyanines. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H-NMR and mass spectra. Afterward, the effects of including metal ion on the photophysicochemical properties of the complexes were studied in biocompatible solvent DMSO to analyze their potential to use as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The fluorescence and singlet oxygen quantum yields were calculated as 0.04–0.15 and 0.70–0.52 for ZnPc and MgPc, respectively. According to the results, MgPc has higher fluorescence quantum yield than ZnPc, while ZnPc has higher singlet oxygen quantum yield than MgPc. The results show that the synthesized complexes can have therapeutic outcomes for cancer treatment.
