Photophysical and photocatalytic properties of beta-sulfonatoporphycenes
The photophysical properties and photooxidation ability of the beta-sulfonatoporphycenes are reported. The photophysical parameters depend on the number of substitutions. The disulfonated porphycene 2 is expected to be a new photosensitizer due to its high catalytic activity and photostability.
