Key Points

The research aims to explore the activation of Ru-benziphthalocyanine complexes using near-infrared light.
Investigated the responsiveness of Ru-benziphthalocyanine complexes to near-infrared light.
Assessed tissue transparency and phototoxicity of NIR-responsive molecules.
Analyzed singlet-triplet transition for activation mechanisms.
Demonstrated effective activation of Ru-benziphthalocyanine complexes under NIR light.
Showed low levels of phototoxicity in biological contexts.
Highlighted advantages of using NIR for enhanced tissue penetration.

Abstract

Near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive molecules are important tools in life sciences due to high tissue transparency and low phototoxicity in this wavelength region. However, conventional compounds are generally activated via S 0 –S 1 ...
