title: Tetra-trifluoroethoxyl zinc phthalocyanine: potential photosensitizer for use in the photodynamic therapy of cancer.
abstract: Tetra(trifluoroethoxyl) zinc phthalocyanine, which could be dissolved in most organic solvents, was synthesized. The compound displays a good photocytotoxicity on myeloma cells and Chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro in the presence of the emulsifying agent F68.
