A "Multi-Heavy-Atom" Approach toward Biphotonic Photosensitizers with Improved Singlet Oxygen Generation Properties.
Abstract: Towards improved lanthanide complexes for two-photon mediated singlet oxygen production: The very large inter-system crossing efficiency results from the combination and interplay of bromine atom substituents, placed along the --conjugated antenna, and a heavy rare-earth element coordinated to a central TACN ligand. Two-photon activated singlet oxygen generation leads to tumor cell death, which illustrates the potential of this new class of compounds as theragnostic agents.
