- A Galactose Dendritic Silicon (IV) Phthalocyanine as a Photosensitizing Agent in Cancer Photodynamic Therapy
-
Two protected galacto-dendritic units have been axially coordinated to the central ion of a silicon(IV) phthalocyanine to afford SiPcPGal4 containing four units of galactose per macrocycle. These biological moieties provided better solubility in aqueous medium and a sensitizer with higher absorption peaks at 680–690 nm. The photodynamic activity of SiPcPGal4 was evaluated against UM-UC-3 human bladder cancer cell line and the results were compared with the activity of the reported SiPcPGal2 and SiPc(OH)2. SiPcPGal4 had a better uptake and it was a better toxicity inducer than SiPcPGal2 and SiPc(OH)2 owing to its four galactose units, protected by isopropylidene groups, which can act as targeted micelles.

- Theoretical and Experimental Studies on the Near-Infrared Photoreaction Mechanism of a Silicon Phthalocyanine Photoimmunotherapy Dye: Photoinduced Hydrolysis by Radical Anion Generation
-
Ligand release from IR700, a silicon phthalocyanine dye used in near-infrared (NIR) photoimmunotherapy, initiates cancer cell death after NIR absorption, although its photochemical mechanism has remained unclear. This theoretical study reveals that the direct Si-ligand dissociation by NIR light is difficult to activate because of the high dissociation energy even in excited states, i. e., >1.30 eV. Instead, irradiation generates the IR700 radical anion, leading to acid-base reactions with nearby water molecules (i. e., calculated pKb for the radical anion is 7.7) to produce hydrophobic ligand-released dyes. This suggests two possibilities: (1) water molecules participate in ligand release and (2) light is not required for Si–ligand dissociation as formation of the IR700 radical anion is sufficient. Experimental evidence confirmed possibility (1) by using 18O-labeled water as the solvent, while (2) is supported by the pH dependence of ligand exchange, providing a complete description of the Si-ligand bond dissociation mechanism.

- Bis(tri-n-alkylsilyl oxide) silicon phthalocyanines: A start to establishing a structure property relationship as both ternary additives and non-fullerene electron acceptors in bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic devices
-
Previous studies have shown that the use of bis(tri-n-hexylsilyl oxide) silicon phthalocyanine ((3HS)2-SiPc) as a solid ternary electroactive additive in poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester P3HT:PC61BM bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic (BHJ OPV) devices resulted in an increased performance. It has been hypothesized that the increase in efficiency is partially due to the unique and odd combination of high solubility and strong driving force of crystallization previously observed for (3HS)2-SiPc. In this follow-up study, two chemical variants of (3HS)2-SiPc, namely bis(tri-n-butylsilyl oxide) ((3BS)2-SiPc) and bis(tri-n-isopropylsilyl oxide) ((3TS)2-SiPc) were synthesized to determine how small changes in the chemical structure would affect the properties of the material and its performance within BHJ OPV devices. We observed that the use of either (3XS)2-SiPc compound results in a further ~10% increase in JSC compared to the use of (3HS)2-SiPc. We also did a preliminary assessment of the use of three (3XS)2-SiPcs as replacements for PC61BM in straight binary P3HT-based BHJ OPV devices. Despite achieving only ~1% PCE efficiencies, observations including a ≈50% increase in VOC over a P3HT:PC61BM baseline and a decent fill factor indicate to us that (3XS)2-SiPcs do have potential as non-fullerene acceptors and advantageous alternatives due to their low embedded energy and therefore their inherent sustainability. X-ray diffraction of ternary and binary BHJ devices demonstrates that both (3BS)2-SiPc and (3TS)2-SiPc experienced similar increase in crystallite density (d-spacing) relative to (3HS)2-SiPc which we surmise plays a role in the improved device efficiency. Like (3HS)2-SiPc, for these two new additives, we also observed a high tendency of crystallization. The results from this study suggest that solubility and driving force to crystallize are important factors in determining the extent to which an additive will migrate to the donor/acceptor interface and thus affect its performance as a ternary additive in BHJ OPV devices. Based on the three (3XS)2-SiPcs used in this study, the smaller tri-n-alkylsilyl oxide molecular fragments seem to work better. Therefore, moving forward, we will continue to consider smaller molecular fragments that still enable solubility and processability of (3XS)2-SiPcs.

- Ab-initio X-ray powder structure analysis of two polymorphs of dihydroxysilicon phthalocyanine
-
This paper reports on the synthesis and ab-initio X-ray powder structure determination of two polymorphs of [Si(OH)2Pc], where Pc = phtalocyaninato. We found that one of the polymorphs (Phase II) shows high sensitivity for an electrophotographic photoreceptor, but that the other (Phase I) doesn't have photosensitivity. The difference in the sensitivity depends on only the crystal structures. This material has not been able to be grown to a single crystal with sufficient size for single crystal X-ray analysis, but it is very important to determine the crystal structures of the two polymorphs for understanding the mechanism of the performance of the electrophotographic photoreceptor. In this work we carried out ab-initio X-ray powder structure analysis. The compound crystallizes in space group P1 (Phase I), Z = 1 with unit-cell parameters of a = 12.992(1), b = 7.2830(8), c = 6.861(1) A, α = 104.413(7)°, β = 101.757(8)°, γ = 96.973(6)°and in space group P21/n (Phase II), Z = 2 with unit-cell parameters of a = 12.7494(5), b = 14.5778(6), c = 6.7727(3) A, β = 94.353(2)°. Both phases have symmetry center in the molecules (on Si atom) and intermolecular hydrogen bonds (O-H ··· N). These hydrogen bond modes of Phase I and Phase II are the same. The main difference in packings was revealed between the crystals: Phase II crystal has the herringbone structure, while in Phase I all molecules form the parallel stack columns.

- Synthesis, structural and conformational analysis and chemical properties of phthalocyaninatometal complexes
-
Syntheses of the phthalocyaninatometal complexes were performed and the crystal and molecular structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The general formulas of these Pc dye compounds are -[Si(Pc)OSiR2/1R2SiR2/1O](n)-and Si(Pc)(OSiR1R2R3)2: -[Si(Pc)OSi(CH3)2(CH2)7Si(CH3)2O](n)- (1), Si(Pc)[OSi(C6H13)3]2 (2) Si(Pc)[OSiC8H17(CH3)2]2 (3) and Si(Pc)[OSiCH3C12H25CH3]2 (4). These Pc dye derivatives were prepared by refluxing a mixture of Si(Pc)(OH)2 and SiR1R2R3Cl in pyridine, followed by cooling the mixture slowly and then drying the resulting precipitates. For 1-3, the Pc skeleton and the oxo-bridged substituentes are coplanar. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the Pc skeleton and two single-atom Si(me) [Si(me)-O-Si(pc)-O-Si(me)] is nearly at right angles. The Si(pc)-O bonds are shorter than the Si(pc)-N bonds and the Si(me)-O bonds are shorter than the Si(pc)-O bonds. For 1, the Pc microcyclic rings are related by a center of symmetry at the center of the O1-Si1-O2 bonds. The chemical formula of a mononer is C43H42N8O2Si3 (C25H28N5O2Si3 in crystallographic symmetry) and the polymer is built up by the addition polymerization of the monomers. The polymer chain is constructed at the siloxy group along the a axis. Two hexyl groups of two siloxy side groups for 2 have the same direction, but one hexyl extends in the opposite direction. For 3, two methyl groups and one octyl group extend in the opposite direction. We applied Pc dyes 2-4, mixed with a polymer for the control of the aggregation state to CD-R and DVD-R recording systems. The aggregation state of the recording layer is controlled by choosing the set of axial substituents R1-R3. The interactions of Pc dyes with polymers are dependant upon the length of axial substituents. We achieved the best writing contrast and the highest stability with the mixed PC dye 4. The conformation of axial substituents is very important for the ability of the dye aggregation and the capability to control the aggregation state.

- Electrophilic cleavage reactions of carbon-silicon bonds in neutral hexacoordinate silicon compounds: diorgano(phtalocyaninato)silicon
-
Preparations of diorgano(phtalocyaninato)silicon 1)(R2)> and their reactions with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), halogens, copper(II) halides, and 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) are reported.The alkyl-silicon bonds are readily cleaved by NBS, halogens, and CuX2 to give the corresponding alkyl halides.The reactivity of aryl-silicon bonds toward NBS and halogen depends greatly on the electronic effect of the substituent on the benzene ring, but these bonds are almost inert to CuX2.The reactivity of the carbon-silicon bond towards NBS cleavage decreases in the order 4-MeOC6H4 > n-C8H17 > 4-MeC6H4 > Ph >> 3-CF3C6H4.Cleavage of alkyl-silicon bonds may involv one-electron transfer from substrate to reagent and alkyl radical intermediates, while the electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism may operate in the cleavage of aryl-silicon bonds. are stable to MCPBA.

- ?-? Interactions and Bandwidths in "Molecular Metals". A Chemical, Structural, Photoelectron Spectroscopic, and Hartree-Fock-Slater Study of Monomeric and Cofacially Joined Dimeric Silicon Phthalocyanines
-
This contribution describes an integrated chemical, physical, and quantum chemical approach to understanding ?-? interactions and tight-binding bandwidths in low-dimensional metallomacrocyclic "metals" via the properties of monomeric and dimeric stack fragments.Thus, electronic structure in the cofacially arrayed phtalocyaninato (Pc) polymer n has been explored through the complexes Si(Pc)(OR)2 and ROSi(Pc)OSi(Pc)OR (R=Si(CH3)2).Improved synthetic and purification procedures are described.Vibrational spectroscopy is employed to assign ROSi and Si(Pc)OSi(Pc) modes, and the results are correlated with data on n.The cofacial dimer crystallizes from chloroform in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn (No. 60) with four molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a=21.670(8), b=13.724(5), and c=23.031(9) Angstroem.Least-squares refinement led to a value for the conventional R index (on F) of 0.127 for 1975 independent reflections having 5 degMoKα0>/=3?(F0).The molecular structure consists of a cofacial (Pc)Si-O-Si(Pc) core of C2 symmetry, having virtually planar phtalocyanine rings, an Si-Si distance (interplanar spacing) of 3.32(1) Angstroem, Si-O-Si=179(1) deg, and a ring-ring staggering angle of 36.6 deg.The Si(CH3)2 capping groups are disordered.Electronic structure in the (phthalocyaninato)silicon monomer and dimer has been studied with first principles discrete variational local exchange (DV-Xα) techniques.These results are combined with transition-state calculations to interpret optical and high resolution He I and He II photoelectron spectroscopic data.While the conventional porphyrinic "four-orbital" model is supported for the low-energy optical transitions (excellent agreement between observed and calculated energies is noted), possible disagreements are noted at higher energies.Calculated (6.8 eV) and observed (6.46 eV) Si(Pc)(OR)2 ionization potentials are in good agreement.The lowest energy PES feature in the dimer is split by 0.29(3) eV.The splitting can be assigned to the cofacial HOMO-HOMO interaction and translates to a tight-binding bandwidth in the polymer of 0.58(6) eV.This result is in favorable agreement with a DV-Xα derived bandwidth of 0.76 eV and a value of 0.60 (6)eV previously obtained from a Drude analysis on I1.12>n.These results argue that the principal charge-transport pathway in the n polymer is via the Pc ? systems and that polaronic band-narrowing effects are minimal.

- Cofacial Assembly of Partially Oxidized Metallomacrocycles as an Approach to Controlling Lattice Architecture in Low-Dimensional Molecular Solids. Chemical and Architectural Properties of the "Face-to-Face" Polymers n, Where M = Si, Ge, and Sn
-
This contribution reports a detailed chemical, spectroscopic, and X-ray diffractometric study of the nature and structure of the cofacially joined metallomacrocyclic polymers n, where M = Si, Ge, Sn and Pc = phtalocyaninato.These materials are precursors for a new class of electrically conductive polymers.Improved syntheses of the polymers are first reported.Optical spectra are assigned within the context of a porphyrinic "four orbital" model and related to those of the corresponding M(Pc)Cl2 and M(Pc)(OH)2 monomers.The vibrational spectra of the polymers are assigned, employing data from the aforementioned monomers and 18O substitution.Identification of the M-O stretching modes allows an estimation of the polymer molecular weights as a function of polymerization procedure via an end group analysis.Degrees of polymerization obtained for typical samples are n = 120 (30) (M = Si), 70 (40) (M = Ge), 100 (40) (M = Sn).A parallel, radiotracer determination employing labeled M(Pc)(O3H)2 monomers yields results in favorable agreement.It is found that n can be substantially varied by controlling the polymerization conditions.X-ray diffraction measerements show the n polymers to be highly crystalline.An analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction data has been carried out with carefully selected model compounds and computer simulation techniques.The results are in good accord with the proposed structure consisting of parallel chains of cofacially arrayed metallomacrocycles.The simplest structures which fit the experimental data are as follows: n, orthorhombic space group Ibam, a = 13.80 (5) Angstroem, b = 27.59 (5) Angstroem, c = 6.66 (4) Angstroem, Z = 4, interplanar spacing = 3.33 (2) Angstroem, intrastack phthalocyanine staggering angle = 39 (3) deg, density (g cm-3) = 1.458 (21) (calcd), 1.432 (10) (found); n, tetragonal space group P4/m, a = 13.27 (5) Angstroem, c = 3.53 (2) Angstroem, Z = 1, interplanar spacing = 3.53 (2) Angstroem, intrastack phthalocyanine staggering angle = 0 (5) deg, density (g cm-3) = 1.609 (29) (calcd), 1.512 (19) (found), or tetragonal space group I4/m, a = 18.76 (7) Angstroem, c = 3.53 (2) Angstroem, Z = 2, intrastack phthalocyanine staggering angle = 0 (5) deg, density (g cm-3) = 1.589 (26) (calcd), 1.512 (10) (found); n, tetragonal space group P4/m, a = 12.82 (2) Angstroem, c = 3.83 (2) Angstroem, Z = 1, intrastack phthalocyanine staggering angle ca. 0 deg, density (g cm-3) = 1.712 (25) (calcd), 1.719 (10) (found).The data for the latter structure are best fit to a model where the larger size of the Sn(IV) ion induces buckling of the macrocycle skeleton.An approximate analysis of the diffraction line widths suggests that crystallite dimensions are on the order of several hundred angstroms and are not grossly anisotropic.
