[reaction: see text] Singlet molecular oxygen (a(1)Delta(g)) has been produced and optically monitored in time-resolved experiments upon nonlinear two-photon excitation of photosensitizers that contain triple bonds as an integral part of the chromophore. Both experiments and ab initio computations indicate that the photophysical properties of alkyne-containing sensitizers are similar to those in the alkene-containing analogues. Most importantly, however, in comparison to the analogue that contains double bonds, the sensitizer containing alkyne moieties is more stable against singlet-oxygen-mediated photooxygenation reactions. This increased stability can be advantageous, particularly with respect to two-photon singlet oxygen imaging experiments in which data are collected over comparatively long time periods.

TRACE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND PHOTOSENSITIZING ACTIVITY IN SALVADORAN SURFACE AND TAP WATER SOURCES: A FIRST LOOK.

University of Arizona, Chemical and Environmental Engineering Department.
Despite their potential risks to human health and the environment at ng/L to μg/L concentrations, there has been relatively little effort to measure trace organic compounds (TOrCs) in surface waters of Central America. The concentrations of eighteen TOrCs detected at eleven surface water sites in the Lempa River basin of El Salvador and four sources of drinking water for the cities of San Salvador, Antiguo Cuscatlán, Soyapango, and Santa Tecla are reported here. All samples were analyzed via liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

ZnO-CoO material was successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation method and used as a catalyst for the removal of diclofenac sodium (DCF). ZnO-CoO exhibited higher catalytic activity in the catalytic process compared to the photocatalytic processes. Under optimum conditions, the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by ZnO-CoO achieved approximately 99% removal of DCF, confirming the effective adsorption and activation of PMS.

The utilization of redox mediators (RMs) in lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) has underscored their utility in high overpotential during the charging process. Among the currently known RMs, it is exceptionally challenging to identify those with a redox potential capable of attenuating singlet oxygen (O) generation while resisting degradation by reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as O and superoxide (O ). In this context, computational and experimental approaches for rational molecular design have led to the development of 7,7'-bi-7-azabicyclo[2.

X-ray induced photodynamic therapy (XPDT) utilizes self-lighting nanoparticles to combine the benefits of radiotherapy and photodynamic therapy. These nanomaterials transform X-ray to visible light that can be absorbed by nearby photosensitizers and in the presence of surrounding oxygen molecules generates reactive oxygen species, which are very toxic to the cells. Despite many studies conducted on modelling XPDT, little focused on the contribution of each component as well as their synergy effects.

A pair of aza-BODIPY isomers, 1,7-di--butyl-3,5-dinaphthyl (Nap-BDP) and 1,7-dinaphthyl-3,5-di--butyl (revNap-BDP), were prepared in this study. According to the single crystal X-ray analysis, Nap-BDP exhibited an orthogonal structure. Owing to the difference in orthogonality and -Bu rotation between Nap-BDP and revNap-BDP, their spectral performances, including maximum absorption and emission, full width at half maximum, fluorescence quantum yield, photostability, singlet oxygen generation and photothermal conversion efficiency, were obviously different.
