Research Interests

Our research interests are centered on the chemistry, properties, and applications of various functional dyes, focusing on phthalocyanines and structurally related macrocyclic compounds.  The work involves extensive organic and inorganic syntheses, and the use of various physical and spectroscopic methods for characterization and study of a wide range of properties.

The ongoing projects include:
(A) Development of Phthalocyanine-Based Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy (in     collaboration with Prof. Wing-Ping Fong of the Department of Biochemistry, CUHK)
(B) Supramolecular Chemistry of Phthalocyanines and Related Macrocycles
(C) Exploration of Subphthalocyanines for Biological Applications
(D) Studies of Functionalized Boron Dipyrromethenes
(E)  Development of Molecular Probes for Metal Ions in Living Cells
