Microbial colonization of biomedical devices is a recognized complication contributing to healthcare-associated infections. One the possible approaches prevent surfaces from biofilm formation antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation based on cytotoxic effect singlet oxygen, O2(1Δg), short-lived, highly oxidative species, produced by energy transfer between excited photosensitizers and molecular oxygen.

Chromophores that generate singlet oxygen (1O2) in water are essential to developing noninvasive disease treatments using photodynamic therapy (PDT). A facile approach for formation of stable colloidal nanoparticles 1O2 photosensitizers, which exhibit aggregation enhanced generation toward applications as PDT agents, is reported. Chromophore encryption within a fuchsonarene macrocyclic scaffold insulates the photosensitizer from induced deactivation pathways, enabling higher chromophore...
A zirconium metal-organic framework (MOF) PCN-222 was postsynthetically modified with diphenylphosphinic acid, resulting in an increased stability when activated from water and 4 times higher photosensitizing properties for singlet oxygen production.

Recent studies have unraveled the potential of octahedral molybdenum cluster complexes (Mo6) as relevant red phosphors and photosensitizers singlet oxygen, O2(1Δg), for photobiological applications. However, these tend to hydrolyze in an aqueous environment, which deteriorates their properties limits To address this issue, we show that phenylphosphinates are extraordinary apical ligands construction Mo6 complexes. These new display unmatched luminescence quantum yields oxygen production...
Porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have excellent characteristics for the adsorptive removal of environmental pollutants. Herein, we introduce a new series highly stable MOFs constructed using Fe3+ and Al3+ metal ions bisphosphinate linkers.
