| Abstract | Six common water-soluble singlet oxygen ((1)O2) photosensitizers - 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridinio) porphine (TMPyP), meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonathophenyl)porphine (TPPS4), Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride tetrasulfonic acid (AlPcS4), eosin Y, rose bengal, and methylene blue - were investigated in terms of their ability to produce delayed fluorescence (DF) in solutions at room temperature. All the photosensitizers dissolved in air-saturated phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) exhibit easily detectable DF, which can be nearly completely quenched by 10 mM NaN3, a specific (1)O2 quencher. The DF kinetics has a biexponential rise-decay character in a microsecond time domain. Therefore, we propose that singlet oxygen-sensitized delayed fluorescence (SOSDF), where the triplet state of a photosensitizer reacts with (1)O2 giving rise to an excited singlet state of the photosensitizer, is the prevailing mechanism. It was confirmed by additional evidence, such as a monoexponential decay of triplet-triplet transient absorption kinetics, dependence of SOSDF kinetics on oxygen concentration, absence of SOSDF in a nitrogen-saturated sample, or the effect of isotopic exchange H2O-D2O. Eosin Y and AlPcS4 show the largest SOSDF quantum yield among the selected photosensitizers, whereas rose bengal possesses the highest ratio of SOSDF intensity to prompt fluorescence intensity. The rate constant for the reaction of triplet state with (1)O2 giving rise to the excited singlet state of photosensitizer was estimated to be ~/>1 × 10(9) M(-1) s(-1). SOSDF kinetics contains information about both triplet and (1)O2 lifetimes and concentrations, which makes it a very useful alternative tool for monitoring photosensitizing and (1)O2 quenching processes, allowing its detection in the visible spectral region, utilizing the photosensitizer itself as a (1)O2 probe. Under our experimental conditions, SOSDF was up to three orders of magnitude more intense than the infrared (1)O2 phosphorescence and by far the most important pathway of DF. SOSDF was also detected in a suspension of 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells, which underlines the importance of SOSDF and its relevance for biological systems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
