Progress on phthalocyanine-conjugated Ag and Au nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization, and photo-physicochemical properties

The effect of phthalocyanine's periphery on the biological activities of carbazole-containing metal phthalocyanines

“…The size of unmodified gold nanoparticles was found to be approximately 15 nm and enhanced by functionalization of the surface with the phthalocyanines owing to H-aggregates originating from the π-π interaction between the modified phthalocyanines. 59,60 Additionally, the agglomeration of gold nanoparticles conjugated to the phthalocyanines led to the approach/association of the particles. The modified gold nanoparticles were determined to be between 20 and 23 nm in size.…”

Recent advances in metal–organic framework/carbon nanotube nanocomposites for developing analytical applications

“…21 Other approaches for MOF-CNT nanocomposite fabrication were utilized for enhancing the conductivity of electrosensors such as using iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles that can facilitate electron transfer due to their inverse spinel structure, 37 in addition to immobilizing gold-silver core shell nanoparticles in which their plasmonic properties contribute to interaction with a wide range of analytes. 23,38,39 Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) have also been reported to promote the electron transport properties for the electrochemical sensitive detection of phenolic acids. 20 Moreover, NCNTs showed an increase in the porosity and active sites of the sorbent to enhance the extraction.…”

New phthalonitrile/metal phthalocyanine–gold nanoparticle conjugates for biological applications

“…45 These images are extensively utilized for the characterization of modified nanomaterials, as well. The size of nanoparticles functionalized with phthalocyanines slightly increased as the π-π stacking between the modifying phthalocyanines led to H-aggregates 46,47 and the approach of adjacent nanoparticles (larger single or twinned particles). [48][49][50] The TEM images of NG and NG-3 are depicted in Fig.…”
