Abstract
Several copolymers of poly(sodium styrenesulfonate-styrene-vinylbenzyl chloride) and poly(sodium esulfonate-2-vinylnaphthalene-vinylbenzylchl oride) containing various amounts of rose bengal chromophores attached to the polymer chain were synthesized. The copolymers are soluble in water and can solubilize large hydrophobic compounds. They are efficie nt generators of singlet oxygen, and act as photosensitizers in the ox idation of singlet oxygen acceptors which are dissolved in the water p hase and solubilized in the hydrophobic polymeric microdomains.
