Abstract Water-soluble copper, nickel, and zinc tetra (n-carbonylacrylic) aminephthalocyanines were synthesized with an aim to evaluate their role as therapeutic materials. They were characterized by UV–Vis spectrophotometer, infra-red spectra, elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermogravimetry. Efforts were made to optimize the synthesis of intermediates and final products. Photoluminescence studies ...
