A stepwise two-photon, red light excitation of organorhodium(III) phthalocyanine complexes was found to induce the activation of the axial metal–carbon bond to generate alkyl radicals/aldehydes. The cooperative action of the photouncaging reaction and the photochemical generation of reactive oxygen species were indicated to induce the cell deaths.
