Summary:Asymmetrically substituted metal-phthalocyanine compounds are disclosed. These compounds and other phthalo-cyanine-derivatives are used in bioimaging, bioanalysis, FRET and quenching techniques, photodynamic therapy, DNA analysis for cells, proteins, tissues and other biological entities, and other applications. Near-infrared fluorescence minimizes matrix effects typically seen in other methods of analyzing biochemical entities in cells, proteins, tissues and other biological entities.
