Core–shell magnetic nanoparticles deliver singlet oxygen for mild oxidations: rechargeable, removable, reusable

Abstract

Singlet oxygen is a useful reactive species. In addition to its role in photodynamic therapy, a variety of synthetically useful reactions can be carried out using singlet oxygen generated by...

Distyryl Carboxylic Acid Substituted BODIPY and BODIPY‐C60 Systems for Generation of Singlet Oxygen

“…Singlet oxygen as a member of reactive oxygen species (ROS) family play useful part in a variety of synthetic reactions and photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a primary cytotoxic agent. [1][2][3] These applications need three major components: a light sensitive molecule, photosensitizer (PS), light to irradiate the PS and molecular oxygen. The irradiation of PS triggers the excitation from S 0 ground state to S 1 singlet excited state ensuing the formation of long-lived T 1 triplet excited state via intersystem crossing (ISC) [4,5] where the energy of the T 1 is used to generate ROS.…”
