Abstract

Novel organic–inorganic hybrid materials comprising nanoscaled layered silicates and native aluminium hydroxide phthalocyanine (Al(OH)Pc) allowed for the first time the exploitation of their unique photophysical properties in aqueous ambience. In particular{,} we were able to observe the efficient emission of Al(OH)Pc–nanoclay hybrids and generation of singlet oxygen in aqueous solution.
