Abstract The reaction of singlet oxygen with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran was investigated in aqueous micellar solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate and dodecyl trimethylammonium chloride using pyrene as photosensitizer. Singlet oxygen, produced by the photosensitization of pyrene bound to micelles, oxidized efficiently 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran bound to micelles. The quantum yield for singlet oxygen production and the rate constant for furan oxidation were determined by the kinetic analysis for the oxidation reaction of furan. Quenching of singlet oxygen by sodium azide competed with the furan oxidation, and its rate constant was also determined. Results obtained were compared with those in methanolic solutions. The quantum yield for singlet oxygen production and the rate constant for furan oxidation were much higher in micellar solutions than those in methanolic solutions. Empty micelles wxas found to act as a considerably strong scavenger for singlet oxygen. The penetration probability of singlet oxygen from aqueous phase into the interior of micelles which bound furan was also estimated

Abstract The quantum yield of singlet oxygen production was investigated in dodecylammonium propionate reversed micellar solutions containing 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran and fluo-rescein as photosensitizer. The quantum yield was highly enhanced by the binding of fluorescein to reversed micelles, and increased with decreasing the solubilized water content in reversed micelles. Results obtained was discussed with the optical properties of fluorescein (absorption, fluorescence and phosphorescence) in reversed micellar solutions.

Emission Properties

We report the synthesis, photochemical and photophysical properties and preliminary studies on biological effect of a new tritolylporphyrin dimer (T-D). Absorption and emission properties of T-D suggest its possible use in photodynamic therapy. T-D is capable of singlet oxygen production with 0.8 quantum yield. It also has a high photostability. The photodynamic properties of the dimer were examined following the growth of SKMEL 188 (human melanoma) cells irradiated with red light (cut off < 630 nm). The surviving fraction of the cells decreased about 3-fold (vs. non-irradiated cells) for an 81 J/cm dose. Our results suggest that tritolylporphyrine dimer T-D may be an interesting hydrophobic sensitizer for photodynamic therapy.

Steric Hindrances

The influence of sulfonation degree (n) and central atom nature on singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ) were studied for a series of sulfonated phthalocyanine metal complexes MPcS n mix . It was found that in DMSO, where the studied dyes exist as monomers, ΦΔ values are independent of number and position of the sulfogroups and are equal to 0.11 ± 0.02, 0.19 ± 0.03, 0.37 ± 0.05, 0.38 ± 0.05 and 0.68 ± 0.10 for the metal-free and Mg , Gd , Al and Zn complexes, correspondingly. However, in aqueous solutions, aggregation of the dyes determines their photochemical activity. Substitution in adjacent to macrocycle 3 and 6 benzene positions interferes with aggregation compared to 4 and 5 positions, presumably due to enhanced steric hindrances in the former case. In the ZnPcS n mix series (n varied from 2 to 4), as an example, the linear relationship between degree of aggregation and ΦΔ indicates that only the monomer fraction of the dye is responsible for singlet oxygen production. For less sulfonated samples the order of activity of the dyes in water is as follows: H 2 PcS n mix < M II PcS n mix < M III PcS n mix which is in contrast to their tendencies to form aggregates.
