We have demonstrated that P(V) porphyrins and phthalocyanines are highly effective at generating singlet oxygen under light irradiation. P(V) porphyrins were found to exhibit high light-induced cytotoxicity (IC50=0.010) which is promising for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In contrast, P(V) phthalocyanines demonstrate relatively low dark and light cytotoxicity rendering the complexes unsuitable for PDT. Nevertheless, recently we have shown that they can be employed as photoinitiators for photocuring of bio-compatible polymers and subsequently for tissue engineering.
