Singlet oxygen, O2 (a1Δg), the lowest excited electronic state of molecular oxygen, has
been known to the scientific community for∼ 80 years. It has a characteristic chemistry that …

For more than 70 years, researchers in several areas of science have been intrigued by the
physical and chemical properties of the lowest excited states of molecular oxygen. With two …

The effect of solvent on the lifetime of singlet oxygen, O2 (a1Δg), particularly the pronounced
H/D solvent isotope effect, has drawn the attention of chemists for almost 50 years. The …

The process of transforming chemical energy into light emission, a phenomenon known as
chemiluminescence (CL), has been an attractive topic of intensive research over the years …

Singlet molecular oxygen (a 'Ag) is shown to be a reactive intermediate in the photoinduced
oxidative decomposition of the electroluminescent material poly (2, 5-bis (5, 6 …

Conspectus Singlet oxygen, O2 (a1Δg), the lowest excited electronic state of molecular
oxygen, is an omnipresent part of life on earth. It is readily formed through a variety of …

Singlet molecular oxygen, O2 (a1Δg), can be created in a single cell from ground-state
oxygen, O2 (X3Σg−), upon focused laser irradiation of an intracellular sensitizer. This …

Time-resolved near-IR emission and optoacoustic calorimetry studies were carried out on
the aromatic ketones phenalenone, benzanthrone, 4-phenylbenzophenone and the …

Singlet molecular oxygen (a1Δg) has been produced and optically detected in time-resolved
experiments upon nonlinear two-photon excitation of a photosensitizer dissolved in water …
