  • States of Oxygen Liquid and Singlet Oxygen Photodynamic Therapy
    Oxygen States of Oxygen As far as allotropes go, oxygen as an element is fairly uninteresting, with ozone (O3, closed-shell and C2v symmetric like SO2) and O2 being the stable molecular forms. Most of our attention today will be devoted to the O2 molecule that is so critically connected with life on Earth. 2 2 2 4 2 O2 has the following valence electron configuration: (1σg) (1σu) (2σg) (1πu) (1πg) . It is be- cause of the presence of only two electrons in the two π* orbitals labelled 1πg that oxygen is paramagnetic with a triplet (the spin multiplicity \triplet" is given by 2S+1; here S, the total spin quantum number, is 0.5 + 0.5 = 1). There are six possible ways to arrange the two electrons in the two degenerate π* orbitals. These different ways of arranging the electrons in the open shell are called \microstates". Further, because there are six microstates, we can say that the total degeneracy of the electronic states 2 3 − arising from (1πg) configuration must be equal to six. The ground state of O2 is labeled Σg , the left superscript 3 indicating that this is a triplet state. It is singly degenerate orbitally and triply degenerate in terms of spin multiplicity; the total degeneracy (three for the ground state) is given by the spin times the orbital degeneracy. 1 The first excited state of O2 is labeled ∆g, and this has a spin degeneracy of one and an orbital degeneracy of two for a total degeneracy of two. This state corresponds to spin pairing of the electrons in the same π* orbital.

Rose bengal and chlorin e6, photosensitizers (PSs) that generate singlet oxygen in high yield, were covalently attached to phytochelatin- related peptides. The photosensitizer-peptide conjugates were subsequently used to overcoat green- and red-emitting CdSe/CdS/ZnS nanocrystals. Generation of singlet oxygen could be achieved via indirect excitation through Fo¨rster (fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the nanocrystals to PSs, or by direct excitation of the PSs. In the latter case, by using two color excitations, the conjugate could be simultaneously used for fluorescence imaging and singlet oxygen generation. Singlet oxygen quantum yields as high as 0.31 were achieved using 532-nm excitation wavelengths. 1.

These PSs are highly responsive to light source of a suitable wavelength for image-guided cancer therapy from generated singlet oxygen and/or thermal heat. Various organic dye PSs show tremendous attenuation of tumor cells during cancer treatment. Among them, porphyrin and chlorophyll-based ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) dyes are employed for photodynamic therapy (PDT) by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals generated with 400–700 nm laser lights, which have poor tissue penetration depth. To enhance the efficacy of PDT, other light sources such as red light laser and X-ray have been suggested; nonetheless, it is still a challenging task to improve the light penetration depth for deep tumor treatment.

  • Synthesis of Photocleavable Photosensitizer-Drug
    SYNTHESIS OF PHOTOCLEAVABLE PHOTOSENSITIZER-DRUG COMPLEXES by MICHAEL YANGBO JIANG B. Sc. Xiamen University, 1998 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Chemistry) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 2007 © Michael Yangbo Jiang, 2007 Abstract The objective of this work was to develop a "photodyNamic" site-specific drug delivery methodology, whereby a drug can be released by visible light at the site of irradiation. This goal was fulfilled by connecting the target drug molecule with a photosensitizer through a specially-designed double-bond linkage. Upon visible light illumination, the photosensitizer moiety of the final complex converted ground-state oxygen to the high energized singlet oxygen, which can oxidatively cleave the olefin linkage to release the drug via a tandem [2+2] cyvloaddition-dioxetane decomposition process. Our first synthetic strategy was to combine bioactive carboxylic acids with alkynylporphyrins using a ruthenium-catalyzed addition reaction. However, the preparation of the alkynylporphyrin substrate was unsuccessful. An alternative synthesis was proposed by adding the carboxylic acid to ethoxyacetylene first, but the subsequent Heck coupling of the resulting alkene to porphyrins failed as well. However, an interesting reaction intermediate 11-21-Zn was isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Its formation mechanism and catalytic activity were also studied. Second Generation Linker The first generation complexes were successfully synthesized using the linker molecule 111-15. Esters as drug mimics were first attached to the linker to form an enol ether linkage by Takai alkylidenation and photosensitizers were then attached by esterification.

  • Utilization of Naturally Occurring Dyes As Sensitizers in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
    Utilization of Naturally Occurring Dyes as Sensitizers in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells. Nipun Sawhney 1, Soumitra Satapathi 1,* 1 Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee, Uttarakhand, 247667, India Abstract Dye sensitized Solar cells (DSSCs) were fabricated with four naturally occurring anthocyanin dyes extracted from naturally found fruits/ juices (viz. Indian Jamun, Plum, Black Currant and Berries) as sensitizers. Extraction of anthocyanin was done using acidified ethanol. The highest power conversion efficiencies (η) of 0.55% and 0.53% were achieved for the DSSCs fabricated using anthocyanin extracts of blackcurrant and mixed berry juice. Widespread availability of these fruits/juices, high concentration of anthocyanins in them and ease of extraction of anthocyanin dyes from these commonly available fruits render them novel and inexpensive candidates for solar cell fabrication. Keywords Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC); Sensitizer; Natural Dyes; Anthocyanin Extraction * Corresponding Author: [email protected] 1 1. Introduction Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) or Gratzel cells as discovered by Gratzel et.al.in 1991 have attracted considerable research interest due to their low cost, ease of fabrication and environmental friendliness [1,2]. A DSSC is composed of a porous layer of titanium dioxide (TiO2) coated photoanode, a monolayer of dye molecules that absorbs sunlight, an electrolyte for dye regeneration and a cathode. They form a sandwich like structure with the dye molecule or photosensitizer playing a pivotal role through its ability to absorb visible light photons. Therefore, a significant amount of research on DSSC has been focused on designing and optimizing the photosensitizer in order to absorb a wide spectrum of wavelengths and increase the efficiency of the solar energy conversion [3,4].

Akkaya *b Controlled generation of singlet oxygen is very important due to its involvement in scheduled cellular maintenance processes and therapeutic potential. As a consequence, precise manipulation of singlet oxygen release rates under mild conditions, is crucial. In this work, a cross-linked polyacrylate, and a polydimethylsiloxane elastomer incorporating anthracene-endoperoxide modules with chain extensions at the 9,10-positions were synthesized. We now report that on mechanical agitation in Received 28th January 2020 cryogenic ball mill, fluorescence emission due to anthracene units in the PMA (polymethacrylate) Accepted 21st February 2020 polymer is enhanced, with a concomitant generation of singlet oxygen as proved by detection with DOI: 10.1039/d0ra00831a a selective probe. The PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) elastomer with the anthracene endoperoxide rsc.li/rsc-advances mechanophore, is also similarly sensitive to mechanical force.

Introduction The stability of the endoperoxides differ widely, and in a large number of 2-pyridone, naphthalene and anthracene Singlet oxygen refers to the lowest energy excited state of the endoperoxides, high yield release of singlet oxygen without side 8 molecular oxygen. Since the direct excitation of the ground state reactions was documented. As a matter of fact, the diversity in oxygen is forbidden by spin, symmetry and parity rules, it is the rates of cycloreversion reactions may eventually prove to be most commonly generated by photosensitization, making use very useful for ne tuning a biologically relevant singlet oxygen of the intermediacy of photosensitizer organic compounds with release.

The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized with UV–Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The silver nanoparticles infused titanium dioxide film was also characterized by Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The performance of DSSC fabricated with silver nanoparticle-modified photoanode was compared with that of a control group.
