Photosensitized singlet oxygen and its applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study of singlet molecular oxygen production and reactivity has emerged as a rich and diverse area with implications in fields ranging from polymer science to cancer therapy. In this review, we address the photophysical properties of singlet oxygen and of the photosensitizers used in its generation. Photosensitizers based on organic molecules and coordination compounds are examined and compared. Recent advances in the photosensitized production of singlet oxygen and its uses in photochemistry and photobiology are highlighted, with particular focus on its role in wastewater treatment, fine chemical synthesis, and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Future directions in photosensitizer development and singlet oxygen applications are also explored. # 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملPhotosensitized oxidation of 9,10-dimethylanthracene with singlet oxygen by using a safranin O/silica composite under visible light.
The photosensitized oxidation of 9,10-dimethylanthracene with singlet oxygen in acetonitrile was investigated using a safranin O/silica composite as an heterogeneous delivery system of the photosensitizer. The only detected product was the corresponding endoperoxide (9,10-endoperoxianthracene) and its formation rate depended on the initial concentration of DMA, the light intensity and the amoun...
متن کاملPhototoxicity of the tetracyclines: photosensitized emission of singlet delta dioxygen.
The spectroscopic observation of 1268-nm emission of singlet oxygen photosensitized by tetracyclines in oxygenated solutions at room temperature is reported. In the series demeclocycline, tetracycline, and minocycline, the efficiency of singlet oxygen generation is found to parallel the clinical observation of relative frequency of phototoxicity of these antibiotics, suggesting singlet oxygen g...
متن کاملFluorometry of singlet oxygen generated via a photosensitized reaction using folic acid and methotrexate.
A method for the fluorometry of singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) using less fluorescent folic acid and its analogue, methotrexate (MTX), was examined. Folic acid and MTX were decomposed into a strongly fluorescent pteridine compound via a photosensitized reaction by (1)O(2)-generating photosensitizers in a deuterium oxide solution. The fluorescence intensity increased in proportion to the irradiation t...
متن کاملSinglet molecular oxygen photosensitized by Rhodamine dyes: correlation with photophysical properties of the sensitizers
By measuring its IR phosphorescence the formation of singlet molecular oxygen O2 photosensitized by rhodamine dyes is directly proved. The O2 formation rate is compared with that expected from the low probability (≈1%) of intersystem crossing of the photosensitizers. The quantum yield for triplet population and the triplet lifetime of the investigated dyes is measured by using a laser-scanning-...
