RATE CONSTANTS FOR THE DECAY AND REACTIONS OF THE LOWEST ELECTRONICALLY EXCITED SINGLET-STATE OF MOLECULAR-OXYGEN IN SOLUTION - AN EXPANDEDAND REVISED COMPILATION

An expanded and revised compilation on the reactivity of singlet oxyge n, the lowest electronically excited singlet state of molecular oxygen , O-1(2)((1) Delta(g)), in fluid solution is presented, which superse des the publication of Wilkinson and Brummer, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 10, 809 (1981). Rate constants for the chemical reaction and physical deactivation of singlet oxygen available through 1993 have been criti cally compiled. Solvent deactivation rates (k(d)) are tabulated for 14 5 solvents or solvent mixtures and second-order rate constants for int eraction of singlet oxygen with 1915 compounds are reported.
