The photophysical and photochemical properties of phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanine with similar structures were studied in solution and with density-functional theory (DFT) computational method. The extended pi-conjugated system in naphthalocyanines causes a bathochromic shift in UV-Vis, emission and excitation bands, and promotes lesser generation of singlet oxygen in solution when compared to phthalocyanines. Time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations point out the molecular orbitals involved in Q-band transition, corresponding to highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) transition with a concentration of charge along x-axis, while the transition to LUMO+1 is in y-axis direction. The presence of tert-butyl substituents does not affect the molecular orbitals shape. but affect their energies. Aggregation studies in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO):water solutions showed that naphthalocyanines studied have more aggregation tendency than the phthalocyanines. DFT studies indicated that stacked-dimers are preferred to rotated-stacked conformation due the interaction between Zn-II and nitrogen atom from different monomers.
