Aggregation-concentration relations of the compounds 3(a-d) were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Fluorescence quenching properties of the phthalocyanines 3(a-d) were studied and fluorescence quantum yields were calculated by comparative method. Photodegradation quantum yields of the compound 3(a-d) were calculated. In addition, singlet oxygen quantum yields of the compounds 3(a-d) were measured by comparative method by using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as singlet oxygen quencher. In this work, it has been observed that the synthesized novel phthalocyanines have higher quantum yield values (the range of 0.8-0.85) compared to the Zn (II) complex of unsubstituted phthalocyanine (0.67). Especially the compound 3d substituted tolyl group has the highest singlet oxygen quantum yield (0.85) seen rarely in literature.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPhthalocyanineFluorescenceSinglet oxygenPhotodegradationArticle20619920410.1016/j.jlumin.2018.10.0512-s2.0-85055254632Q1WOS:000451782900032Q2
