The photodynamic activities of a porphyrin-C-60 dyad (P-C-60) and its metal complex with Zn(II) (ZnP-C-60) were compared with 5-(4-acetamidophenyl)-10,15,20-tris(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin (P), both in homogeneous medium-bearing photooxidizable substrates and in vitro on the Hep-2-human-larynx-carcinoma cell line. This study represents the first evaluation of dyads, with a high capacity to form a photoinduced charge-separated state, to act as agents to inactivate cells by photodynamic therapy (PDT). Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies were performed in toluene and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The emission of the porphyrin moiety in the dyads is strongly quenched by the attached fullerene C-60 moiety. The singlet molecular oxygen, O-2((1)Delta(g)), productions (Phi(Delta)) were determined using 9,10-dimethylanthracene (DMA). The values Of (Phi(Delta) were strongly dependent on the solvent's polarity. Comparable Phi(Delta) values were found for dyads and P in toluene, while O-2((1)Delta(g)) production was significantly diminished for the dyads in DMF. In more polar solvent, the stabilization of charge-transfer state takes place, decreasing the efficiency of porphyrin triplet-state formation. Also, both dyads photosensitize the decomposition of L-tryptophan in DMF. In biological medium, no dark cytotoxicity was observed using sensitizer concentrations
