Abstract

Photosensitized oxidation, mediated by singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) in aqueous or biological media, is of great importance for number of environmental and medical applications. However, sensitization of 1O2 formation and its reactivity in aqueous media have certain limitations, first of all owing to the extremely low 1O2 lifetime and intermolecular interactions of different nature. Methodologies for the quantification of 1O2 production and sensitizers, applicable for aqueous media, are considered with particular focus on factors, affecting photosensitizer ability in aqueous and biological environment.
