Quenching of excited triplet states by dissolved natural organic matter.

چکیده
Excited triplet states of aromatic ketones and quinones are used as proxies to assess the reactivity of excited triplet states of the dissolved organic matter ((3)DOM*) in natural waters. (3)DOM* are crucial transients in environmental photochemistry responsible for contaminant transformation, production of reactive oxygen species, and potentially photobleaching of DOM. In recent photochemical studies aimed at clarifying the role of DOM as an inhibitor of triplet-induced oxidations of organic contaminants, aromatic ketones have been used in the presence of DOM, and the question of a possible interaction between their excited triplet states and DOM has emerged. To clarify this issue, time-resolved laser spectroscopy was applied to measure the excited triplet state quenching of four different model triplet photosensitizers induced by a suite of DOM from various aquatic and terrestrial sources. While no quenching for the anionic triplet sensitizers 4-carboxybenzophenone (CBBP) and 9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonic acid (2,6-AQDS) was detected, second-order quenching rate constants with DOM for the triplets of 2-acetonaphthone (2AN) and 3-methoxyacetophenone (3MAP) in the range of 1.30-3.85 × 10(7) L mol(C)(-1) s(-1) were determined. On the basis of the average molecular weight of DOM molecules, the quenching for these uncharged excited triplet molecules is nearly diffusion-controlled, but significant quenching (>10%) in aerated water is not expected to occur below DOM concentrations of 22-72 mg(C) L(-1).

Quenching of Triplet States of Organic Compounds by Coordination Complexes
Recent evidence which establishes that electronic energy transfer is the most common mechanism for quenching of organic triplet states by coordination compounds is discussed. It is pointed out that only when energy transfer produces ligand field excited states is there likely to be markedly different behaviour observed from that expected for a typical organic triplet energy acceptor. Transfer t...

Roles of singlet oxygen and triplet excited state of dissolved organic matter formed by different organic matters in bacteriophage MS2 inactivation.
Inactivation of bacteriophage MS2 by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and triplet excited state of dissolved organic matter ((3)DOM*) produced by irradiation of natural and synthetic sensitizers with simulated sunlight of wavelengths greater than 320 nm was investigated. Natural sensitizers included purified DOM isolates obtained from wastewater and river waters, and water samples collected from S...
متن کاملDynamics of capsuleplex formed between octaacid and organic guest molecules — Photophysical techniques reveal the opening and closing of capsuleplex
This manuscript is concerned with the opening and closing of a capsuleplex made up of organic guest molecules and two cavitand molecules known as octaacid (OA). The capsuleplex is loosely held together in water through weak interactions. We have investigated the opening–closing of the OA capsuleplex by monitoring the quenching of excited singlet and (or) triplet states of nine different guest m...
متن کاملPhotostabilization of endogenous porphyrins: excited state quenching by fused ring cyanoacrylates.
Endogenous chromophores in human skin, when exposed to sunlight, generate harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is one of the common chromophores in human tissue. A series of aromatic cyanoacrylates were tested as quenchers of excited singlet and triplet states of PpIX. While the diaryl cyanoacrylate () did not quench excited singlet or triplet states of PpIX, some cya...
