Theoretical and Experimental Studies on the Near‐Infrared Photoreaction Mechanism of a Silicon Phthalocyanine Photoimmunotherapy Dye: Photoinduced Hydrolysis by Radical Anion Generation

Press release (in Japanese)

 

Abstract
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 ……
