Abstract

This paper describes the synthesis of π-extended squaraines and their photooxidation properties and gives an in-depth characterization of these molecules as photosensitizing agents. Squaraines show a strong absorption in the tissue transparency window (600− 800 nm), and upon irradiation, they undergo a photooxidation process, leading to the formation of peroxide and hydroperoxide radicals according to a type I radical chain process. ...
