Abstract

We report honeycomb-patterned phthalocyanine (Pc) films fabricated by self-assembly of dodecyloxy-azo-Zinc phthalocyanine (daZnPc) using the breath figure (BF) technique. These ultrathin Pc films exhibit a robust photo-dependent antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli (E. coli). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
