Photophysics of covalent functionalized single walled carbon nanotubes with a porphyrin-type photosensitizer

摘要

We report photophysics studies of some compounds of interest in drugtargeted delivery and conjugated single walled carbon nanotubes with aphotosensitizing agent. Supramolecular entities porphyrin-carbon nanotubes havebeen synthesized by covalent functionalization and have been analyzed in terms ofphotostability, microfluidics (surface tension and viscosity) and laser inducedfluorescence properties. Likewise, their chemical bonding structure was studied byFTIR spectroscopy. There were highlighted the photophysical characteristics ofconjugated compounds with respect to the correspondent mixture of the rawcomponents.
