A pared-down gas-phase kinetics for the chemical oxygen-iodine laser medium

Using Singlet Oxygen to Synthesize Natural Products and Drugs

“…Previous reviews on flow photoreactors that have selected coverage of 1 O 2 in flow synthesis have been published. − Our Review is up-to-date where section exclusively covers 1 O 2 flow photoreactors in synthesis. “Flowing” 1 O 2 generators such as the chemical oxygen–iodine laser (COIL) − with supersonic I 2 /O 2 mixing will not be covered because there is no overlap with organic synthesis. Extensive studies have been carried out with direct substrate photolysis in flow reactions, − which will also not be covered.…”

O2(b1Σg+) Removal by H2, CO, N2O, CH4, and C2H4 in the 300–800 K Temperature Range

“…Gas phase processes involving oxygen molecules in the electronically excited state b 1 Σ g + have been studied extensively due to their importance in the terrestrial atmosphere, − oxygen-containing gas discharges, − the active medium of an oxygen–iodine laser, , and combustion. − Currently, a nonequilibrium plasma discharge has been actively studied − in view of its potential applications to ignition and flame stabilization. An important point is that plasma–chemical processes result in the formation of highly reactive atoms, radicals, and excited molecules including O 2 . ,,, In particular, plasma–chemical processes in air–fuel mixtures result in the formation of O 2 (b 1 Σ g + ) molecules that may activate chain reactions in the combustion zone .…”
