title: Phthalocyanine-based fluorescence probes for detecting ascorbic acid: phthalocyaninatosilicon covalently linked to TEMPO radicals.
abstract: We have applied phthalocyaninatosilicon (SiPc) covalently linked to one or two tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl (TEMPO) radicals as fluorescence probes for detecting ascorbic acid in biological systems.
