Singlet Oxygen, Radicals, Fluorescein, Diphenylisobenzofuran, Reversed Micelles The 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran oxidation reaction was investigated in methanolic and dodecylammonium propionate reversed micellar solutions using fluorescein sodium as photosensitizer. It was found that aniline remarkably enhanced the furan oxidation in methanolic solutions but inhibited it in reversed micellar solut...

The EuII/III redox couple offers metal-based oxidation-sensing with magnetic resonance imaging making the study of EuII oxidation chemistry important in the design of new probes. Accordingly, we explored oxidation reactions with a set of EuII -containing complexes. Superoxide formation from the reaction between EuII and dioxygen was observed using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. A...
