| Abstract: | We report a molecular nanoassembly able to supply simultaneously, in the same region of space and under the exclusive control of visible light, nitric oxide and singlet oxygen, two species playing a key role in the therapy of cancer; the considerable fluorescence of this nanoaggregate and its reduced size (ca. 40 nm) represent additional advantages that make this photoactive vehicle an appealing candidate to be tested in biological systems. |
