Abstract

Three new Zn(ii)-, oligo- and poly(2,5-thienylene)-linked porphyrins, bearing multiple triethylene glycol (TEG) groups, on all meso aryl positions were synthesized via Stille and Suzuki coupling reactions and their photophysical properties as well as singlet oxygen generation efficiencies have been investigated to elucidate the possibility of their use as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic inactivation of bacteria. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2015.
