Abstract
A new method for the determination of the quantum yields of singlet ox ygen (O-1(2)((1) Delta(g))) formation in aqueous media is described. I t is based on the chemical trapping of O-1(2) with sodium 1,3-cyclohex adiene-1,4-diethanoate (CHDDE), a specific, water-soluble trap which e xhibits transparency to visible and near-UV light. The advantages and limits of this method are illustrated with various photosensitizers: n alidixic acid, rose bengal and sodium tetraphenylporphine tetrasulphon ate.
