However, TPPS4 suffers from inherent shortcomings. To address these, TPPS4 was conjugated to ternary copper indium sulphide/ zinc sulphide (CuInS2/ZnS) quantum dots (QDs).Purpose: We herein report for the first time the synthesis of TPPS4–CuInS/ZnS QDs conjugate as an improved photosensitizer.Methods: Water-soluble TPPS4 was synthesized from tetraphenylporphyrin (TPPH2) after silica-gel purification. The CuInS/ZnS QDs were synthesized by hydrothermal method at a Cu:In ratio of 1:4. The porphyrin–QDs conjugate was formed via the daggling sulfonyl bond of the porphyrin and amine bond of the QDs. The effect of pH on the optical properties of TPPS4 was evaluated. The effect of Zn:Cu + In ratio on the ZnS shell passivation was examined to reduce structural defects on the as-synthesized QDs.Results: Various spectroscopic techniques were used to confirm the successful conversion of the organic TPPH2 to water-soluble TPPS4. The singlet oxygen generation evaluation shows an improved singlet oxygen quantum yield from 0.19 for the porphyrin (TPPS4) alone to 0.69 after conjugation (CuInS/ZnS-TPPS4) with an increase in the reaction rate constant (k (s-1)).Keywords: CuInS/ZnS, meso-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin, TTPS4, singlet oxygen, conjugation, quantum dotsTsolekile NNcapayi VObiyenwa GKMatoetoe MSongca SOluwafemi OSDove Medical PressarticleCuInS/ZnSmeso-Tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TPPS4)Singlet oxygenConjugationQuantum dotsMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 14, Pp 7065-7078 (2019)
