This study reports on the photophysical and photochemical behavior of the conjugates formed by covalent and non-covalent bonding between zinc monoamino phthalocyanine (ZnMAPc) and either single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) or folic acid (FA). The conjugates were characterized using FTIR, X-ray powder diffractometry, thermogravimetric analyses, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. 1H NMR and mass spectroscopies were only employed for ZnMAPc–FA conjugate. There was a slight increase in the triplet and singlet oxygen quantum yields on conjugating ZnMAPc to SWCNTs (or FA), while a decrease in the photophysical and photochemical parameters were observed upon adsorption of the ZnMAPc–FA conjugate to SWCNTs.
