Description: This paper looks at the fluorescence behavior of zinc phthalocyanines: 2,(3),9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetrakis-(mercaptoacetic acid phthalocyaninato) zinc(II) (ZnTMAAPc), 2,(3),9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetrakis-(mercaptopropanoic acid phthalocyaninato) zinc(II) (ZnTMPAPc) and (OH)AlPcSmix (the latter contains a mixture of the di-, tri- and tetra-sulfonated derivatives with an average of three sulfonated groups per molecule) in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles. Fluorescence lifetimes of Pc complexes generally decreased in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles, with generally longer lifetimes for ZnO nanohexagons compared to ZnO nanorods.
