Phthalocyanine–titanate nanotubes: a promising nanocarrier detectable by optical imaging in the so-called imaging window†
Abstract
TiONts–phthalocyanine nanohybrids combining an efficient optical probe and a promising nanovector have been developed in a step-by-step approach and were thoroughly characterized. Each 150 nm long TiONts–Pc bear ca. 450 Pc. Three nanohybrids were prepared including three different linkers in quest for the best stability.
