Perfluoroisopropyl‐substituted zinc phthalocyanines conjugated with deoxyribonucleosides have been synthesized and evaluated as photodynamic therapy agents from both spectral and biological points of view. They show non‐aggregation, high chemical stability and good fluorescence quantum yields in both organic and aqueous solutions. Preliminary biological experiments revealed these conjugates to be promising candidates for the photodynamic therapy of cancer.
