Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can provoke damage to cells, where their concentrations are regulated by antioxidants. As the hydroxyl radical (•OH) is the most oxidizing ROS, we have focused our attention on the use of a mechanistically based time-resolved methodology, such as laser flash photolysis, to determine the relative reactivity of alcoholic beverages towards •OH as an indicator of their antioxidant potential. The selected drinks were of two different origins: (i) those derived from grapes such as red wine, white wine, white vermouth, marc and brandy and (ii) spirits not derived from grapes: triple sec, gin, whisky, and rum. Initially, we determined the quenching rate constant of ethanol with •OH and then we explored the reactivity of the different beverages, which was higher than expected based on their alcoholic content. This can be attributed to the presence of antioxidants and was especially remarkable for the grape-derived drinks.

Optical oxygen-sensing systems based on the quenching of the photoexcited triplet state of platinum porphyrins—platinum octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) and platinum tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (PtTFPP)—in polystyrene (PS) using two different time-resolved spectroscopies (luminescence lifetime measurement and diffuse reflectance laser flash photolysis) have been developed. Using both spectroscopies, the same values of Stern-Volmer constant KSV and quenching rate constant kq (KSV = kqτ0) are obtained. The decays of the luminescence and triplet-triplet reflectance of the platinum porphyrins in PS consisted of two components (faster and slower lifetimes) in the absence and presence of oxygen. For both faster and slower components the lifetime decreases with increasing oxygen concentration. For both components a Stern-Volmer plot of the platinum porphyrin-PS films exhibits linearity. However, kq of the faster component is larger than that of the slower component (for PtOEP, three times larger; for PtTFPP, 40 times larger), indicating that two different oxygen-accessible sites exist in the platinum porphyrin-PS films. The faster and slower components are related to oxygen-accessible sites on the surface and in the bulk of the platinum porphyrin films respectively. Concerning the fractional contributions of each lifetime component, the contribution of the faster component is greater than that of the slower component, indicating that the sensing site on the surface is important for optical sensing. The contribution of different oxygen-accessible sites in platinum porphyrin-PS films for oxygen sensing is clarified by these techniques.

Absolute rate constants for HO2 + NO and NH2 + NO reactions were measured by a photoionization mass spectrometry coupled with a laser flash photolysis. HO2 and NH2 radicals were photoionized by an Ar resonance lamp and were detected as their parent ions (HO2+ and NH2+). The rate constants were determined to be K(HO2 + NO)=(6.5  ± 2.0) 10−12cm3molecule−1s−1K(NH2 + NO)=(1.9  ± 0.3) 10−11cm3molecule−1s−1 Both rates are consistent with those previously reported.
