Photonics Photosensitisers

A semiconductor can act as a photosensitiser, which is characterised by its ability to absorb photons, and then, by utilising the photogenerated electrons and holes, cause the simultaneous oxidation and reduction of reactants. [Pg.204]

The methyl complex [Co(cyclam)(H20)(Me)] has been investigated as a photosensitiser in anticancer therapy [221]. The complex is stable in water and air, but in the presence of photons produces methyl radicals via homolysis of the Co - C bond. The methyl radicals produced bring about the cleavage of the DNA without base specificity [222,223]. [Pg.199]
