Singlet Oxygen Generation From Poly[4-Diacetoxyiodo]Styrene And Hydrogen Peroxide, Mustafa Çatir Jan 2017

Singlet Oxygen Generation From Poly[4-Diacetoxyiodo]Styrene And Hydrogen Peroxide, Mustafa Çatir

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Treatment of hydrogen peroxide with a polymer-supported hypervalent iodine compound, poly[4-diacetoxyiodo] styrene (PDAIS), generates singlet molecular oxygen ($^{1}$O$_{2})$. Singlet oxygen generation was proved by trapping with typical organic compounds such as conjugated dienes, aromatic dienes, and electron-rich alkene. When compared to monomer analogue, the use of PDAIS in peroxidation of substrates gave slightly better yields (45%-96%). Regeneration and reuse of PDAIS showed similar activity. The mechanism underlying generation of singlet oxygen and reaction scope was examined.


Investigation Of Photochemical And Photophysical Properties Of Novel Silicon(Iv) Phthalocyanines And Their $\Mu $-Oxo Dimers, Ömer Güngör, Mahmut Durmuş, Vefa Ahsen Jan 2017

Investigation Of Photochemical And Photophysical Properties Of Novel Silicon(Iv) Phthalocyanines And Their $\Mu $-Oxo Dimers, Ömer Güngör, Mahmut Durmuş, Vefa Ahsen

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The synthesis and characterization of novel tetraalkylthio (SC$_{6}$H$_{13}$ or SC$_{12}$H$_{25})$ substituted $\mu $-oxo silicon(IV) phthalocyanines (3a and 3b) and their $\mu$-oxo derivatives (4a and 4b) were described in this study. These silicon(IV) phthalocyanines were characterized using different spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Vis, $^{1}$H NMR, FT-IR, and mass and elemental analysis, as well. Furthermore, the photophysical (fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes) and photochemical (singlet oxygen generation) properties of the newly synthesized silicon(IV) phthalocyanines (3a, 3b, 4a, and 4b) were investigated in dimethylformamide solution. The absorption and fluorescence excitation wavelengths of the studied silicon(IV) phthalocyanines were blue-shifted when they converted to their …
