| Research Abstract |
Singlet oxygen, the lowest excited state of molecular oxygen, is a representative of reactive oxygen species and is of much interest because of its importance in many photosensitized oxidations, in photocarcinogenisis, and in the photodynamic therapy of cancer. Recently, many kinds of techniques have been employed to improve the sensitivity of the detector. However, the currently used technology has important limitations of quantitative information about singlet oxygen concentration which need to be overcome.
It is notable that singlet oxygen is paramagnetic owing to its angular momentum and ground-state oxygen is also paramagnetic. In the present work, we observed the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of singlet oxygen. We have succeeded in determining the absolute concentration of singlet oxygen by using ground-state oxygen as a quantitative standard. We made an experimental equipment to observe the EPR and near-IR emission spectra of singlet oxygen at the same time.
