Synthesis of hydrophilic conjugated porphyrin dimers for one-photon and two-photon photodynamic therapy at NIR wavelengths.
We report the synthesis of a series of hydrophilic butadiyne-linked conjugated zinc porphyrin dimers, designed as photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents. These porphyrin dimers exhibit exceptionally high two-photon absorption cross sections (delta(max) approximately 8,000-17,000 GM) and red-shifted linea...
