Abstract: Propargyl-functionalized macrocyclic compounds can include non-aggregating compounds having at least one phthalocyanine (Pc), azaphthalocyanine (AzaPc), or naphthalocyanine (Nc) unit. The compounds can be metal-free or metal-complexed. The metal-complexed compounds can include zinc (II), for example. The compounds can include multiple propargyl moieties at different sites, e.g., peripheral or non-peripheral sites, as described herein. Exemplary compounds include an azaphthalocyanine complex (AzaPc1) and phthalocyanine complexes (Pc2-Pc5). The compounds may provide efficient solubility in aqueous and/or organic solvents, optimal physicochemical properties, improved photo-sensitizability, significant tumor specificity, and electron transfer tunability. The compounds can provide suitable non-aggregated molecular scaffolds for construction of numerous macrocycle derivatives via different organic transformation methodologies, e.g., Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC).
