“…Pt(II)-octaethylpophyrin was initially used in O 2 sensing (Amao, et al, 2002;Lee & Okura, 1997a;Papkovsky, 1995;Papkovsky, et al, 1992), but it has modest photostability and undergoes rapid photobleaching in polymeric matrices (Puklin, et al, 2000). In Pt(II)-tetrakis-(pentafuorophenyl)porphyrin (PtTFPP) dye contain the electronwithdrawing perfluorinated substituents which lower its oxidation potential and improve photostability (Amao, Miyashita, & Okura, 2001;Lee & Okura, 1997b;Puklin, et al, 2000).…”
