Summary : Series of novel water‐soluble photosensitizers based on dextran was synthesized and studied. Dextran was modified by covalent attachment of anthracene chromophores. Photophysical and photochemical properties of the photosensitizers in aqueous solutions were determined. Their applicability for sensitization of oxidation of polynuclear aromatics and degradation of pesticides was demonstrated. Removal of photosensitizers from the environment after their usage was discussed.
