- Description
- Herein, we present syntheses of three asymmetrical zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) complexes and hydrothermal synthesis of cobalt tungstate nanoparticles. The ZnPc derivatives were covalently linked to cobalt tungstate nanoparticles. Photophysical and photochemical behaviour of Pcs and nanoconjugates were investigated. The nanoconjugates generated higher triplet quantum yield and singlet oxygen quantum yield than the ZnPcs alone. Furthermore, in this paper photocatalytic efficiencies of ZnPc complexes and nanoconjugates were investigated for the degradation of methylene blue and higher photocatalytic behaviour was observed for the conjugates. The kinetic model was used to study photocatalytic behaviour of all the prepared photocatalysts.
