Abstract

A method for the manufacture of a photosensitizing nanomaterial (40) and the products thereof are disclosed. The method for the treatment of a biological target (50) is disclosed. The photosensitizing nanomaterial (40) comprises a metal complex tetrapyrrole derivative (10). The metal complex tetrapyrrole derivative (10) is attached by an axial covalent bond (60) to the surface (25) of a solid nanomaterial (20). The solid nanomaterial (20) has at least one dimension in the nanometer and/or the micrometer range.
