singlet oxygen

When sunlight hits them, they give off singlet oxygen.

Various methods for the production of singlet oxygen exists.

As a consequence, singlet oxygen in the gas phase is extremely long lived (72 minutes).

Some are termed antioxidants because of their ability to trap singlet oxygen.

In photodynamic therapy, singlet oxygen is produced to kill cancer cells.

Because of its unusual properties, singlet oxygen can persist for over an hour at room temperature, depending on the environment.

Long-lived nuclear isomers and singlet oxygen are two examples of this.

In nature, singlet oxygen is commonly formed from water during photosynthesis, using the energy of sunlight.

Such intermediates arise from the addition of singlet oxygen to the double bond.

In photodynamic therapy, light is used to destroy tumors by the action of singlet oxygen.

Singlet oxygen is the active species in photodynamic therapy.

Another important feature of this class of compounds is their ability to generate singlet oxygen.

Singlet oxygen is generated during the parasite's life cycle.

The reaction is followed by a photochemical process creating singlet oxygen to obtain the end product.

Lycopene may be the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen.

Singlet oxygen is usually generated with a photosensitizer pigment.

The enzyme will form singlet oxygen in the absence of the appropriate organic substrates.

The chemistry of singlet oxygen is different from that of ground state oxygen.

Singlet oxygen can also be produced chemically.

In photosynthesis, singlet oxygen can be produced from the light-harvesting chlorophyll molecules.

Triplet P may react with oxygen to produce harmful singlet oxygen.

To initiate combustion, energy is required to force dioxygen into a spin-paired state, or singlet oxygen.

In other words, direct excitation of ground state oxygen by light to form singlet oxygen is very improbable.

HTPP is a photosensitizer for the production of singlet oxygen.

When exposed to near ultraviolet light, such as in sunlight, alpha-terthienyl generates the toxic singlet oxygen.
