TPPS₄-Sensitized Photooxidation of Micropollutants-Singlet Molecular Oxygen Kinetic Study.

ABSTRACT: Visible light-sensitized oxidation of micropollutants (MPs) in the presence of meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin photosensitizers was studied. In order to explore the role of type I (ROS generation) or type II (singlet oxygen) photooxidation, radical scavengers were used to obtain insight into the mechanism of photodegradation. It was revealed that singlet oxygen is the main ROS taking part in TPPS₄- sensitized photooxidation of micropollutants. The interaction of MPs with ¹O₂ in deuterium oxide (D₂O) was investigated by measuring the phosphorescence lifetime of ¹O₂. The rate constant (kq) for the total (physical and chemical) quenching of ¹O₂ by MPs was determined in a D₂O buffer (pD 7, 9 and 10.8). The rate constants of singlet oxygen quenching and reaction with MPs were determined, and the rate constant of excited TPPS₄ quenching by MPs was also estimated.

Single-photon oxidation of C60 by self-sensitized singlet oxygen.

Project description:C60 is regarded as the most efficient singlet oxygen (1O2) photosensitizer. Yet, its oxidation by self-sensitized 1O2 remains unclear. The literature hints both oxygen and C60 must be at excited states to react, implying a two-photon process: first, oxygen is photosensitized (1C60•1O2); second, C60 is photoexcited (1[Formula: see text]•1O2). However, this scheme is not plausible in a solvent, which would quench 1O2 rapidly before the second photon is absorbed. Here, we uncover a single-photon oxidation mechanism via self-sensitized 1O2 in solvents above an excitation energy of 3.7 eV. Using excitation spectroscopies and kinetics analysis, we deduce photoexcitation of a higher energy transient, 3[Formula: see text]•3O2, converting to 1[Formula: see text]•1O2. Such triplet-triplet annihilation, yielding two simultaneously-excited singlets, is unique. Additionally, rate constants derived from this study allow us to predict a C60 half-life of about a minute in the atmosphere, possibly explaining the scarceness of C60 in the environment.

Photooxidation of Dipyrrinones: Reaction with Singlet Oxygen and Characterization of Reaction Intermediates.

Project description:Bilirubin (BR) is a water-insoluble product of heme catabolism in mammals. Elevated blood concentrations of BR, especially in the neonatal period, are treated with blue-green light phototherapy. The major mechanism of BR elimination during phototherapy is photoisomerization, while a minor, less studied mechanism of degradation is oxidation. In this work, we studied the oxidation of the bilirubin model tetramethyl-dipyrrinone (Z-13) by singlet oxygen in methanol using UV-vis and ESI-MS spectroscopy, resulting in propentdyopents as the main oxidation products. We also identified two additional intermediates that were formed during the reaction (hydroperoxide 21a and imine 17). The structure of the hydroperoxide was confirmed by helium-tagging IR spectroscopy. Such reaction intermediates formed during the oxidation of BR or bilirubin models have not been described so far. We believe that this work can be used as a first step in studying the complex oxidation mechanism of BR during phototherapy.

A kinetic study for the estimation of riboflavin sensitized photooxidation of pyridoxine HCl using green UV-visible spectrometric and HPLC methods.

Project description:Riboflavin (RF) sensitized photooxidation of pyridoxine HCl (PD) in the pH range of 2.0-12.0 has been carried out under UV and visible irradiation in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. PD follows first-order kinetics in the absence and presence of RF for its photodegradation. The first-order rate constants (k obs) for the photodegradation of PD in the presence of RF (0.05-0.50 × 10-4 M) in aerobic and anaerobic conditions range from 0.046-0.755 and 0.0089-0.755 × 10-2 min-1, respectively. RF acts as a promoter for the photodegradation of PD and the second-order rate constants (k 2) are in the range of 0.026-1.285 and 0.004-0.128 × 10-2 M-1 min-1 in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. The k 2-pH profile for the photodegradation shows a slanted curve, indicating that with an increase in pH, the rate of photodegradation of PD also increases. Green UV-visible spectrometric and high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods have been developed for the simultaneous determination of PD and RF in pure and degraded solutions. These two developed methods are statistically compared and it is found that there is no significant difference between them. We have conducted in silico studies to assess the formation of ground state complexes, molecular interactions, and the binding affinities of RF and PD.

Suppressing Effect of 2-Nitrobenzaldehyde on Singlet Oxygen Generation, Fatty Acid Photooxidation, and Dye-Sensitizer Degradation.

Project description:2-Nitrobenzaldehyde was found to efficiently block singlet oxygen generation in a series of different test samples upon exposure to UV and visible light under aerobic conditions. The effect of quenching singlet oxygen formation was monitored in the presence of 1, 4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane (DABCO) acting as a well-known singlet oxygen scavenger. A comparison of different nitrobenzaldehyde isomers with other highly effective synthetic antioxidants used in the food industry such as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) revealed that the protection of materials from singlet oxygen decreases in the order of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde > DABCO > TBHQ > 3-nitrobenzaldehyde > BHA > 4-nitrobenzaldehyde > BHT. Upon addition of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, the oxidation of fatty acids and the degradation of photosensitizers was found to be considerably diminished, which indicates that the presence of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde has a significant protective influence by restricting the singlet oxygen generation and photodegradation of dyes. Moreover, the compound turned out to display its highly suppressing effects on typical singlet oxygen-dependent reactions, such as fatty acid photooxidation and dye photosensitizer degradation, in a rather broad spectral region covering wavelengths from 300 nm (UV-B) to 575 nm (close to the maximum of ambient solar radiation).

Selective activation of peroxymonosulfate to singlet oxygen by engineering oxygen vacancy defects in Ti3CNTx MXene for effective removal of micropollutants in water.

Project description:Defect engineering is an effective strategy to boost the catalytic activity of MXene towards heterogeneous peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for water decontamination. Herein, we developed a facile approach to fine-tune the generation of oxygen vacancies (OVs) on Ti3CNTx crystals by Ce-doping (Ce-Ti3CNTx) with the aim of mediating PMS activation for the degradation of micropollutants in water. By varying the dopant content, the OV concentrations of Ti3CNTx could be varied to enable the activation of PMS to almost 100% singlet oxygen (1O2), and hence the effective degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX, a model micropollutant). Various advanced characterization techniques were employed to obtain detailed information on the microstructure, morphology, and defect states of the catalysts. The experimental results showed that SMX removal was proportional to the OVs level. Density functional theory (DFT) models demonstrated that, in contrast to pristine Ti3CNTx, the OVs on 10%Ce-Ti3CNTx could adsorb the terminal O of PMS, which facilitated the formation of SO5 •- as well as the generation of 1O2. We further loaded the optimized catalysts onto a polytetrafluoroethylene microfiltration membrane and also demonstrated the efficient removal of SMX from water using a convection-enhanced mass transport flow-through configuration. This study provides new insights into the effective removal of micropollutants from water by integrating state-of-the-art defect engineering, advanced oxidation, and microfiltration techniques.

Singlet oxygen-based electrosensing by molecular photosensitizers

Project description:Enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors are an inspiration for the development of (bio)analytical techniques. However, the instability and reproducibility of the reactivity of enzymes, combined with the need for chemical reagents for sensing remain challenges for the construction of useful devices. Here we present a sensing strategy inspired by the advantages of enzymes and photoelectrochemical sensing, namely the integration of aerobic photocatalysis and electrochemical analysis. The photosensitizer, a bioinspired perfluorinated Zn phthalocyanine, generates singlet-oxygen from air under visible light illumination and oxidizes analytes, yielding electrochemically-detectable products while resisting the oxidizing species it produces. Compared with enzymatic detection methods, the proposed strategy uses air instead of internally added reactive reagents, features intrinsic baseline correction via on/off light switching and shows C-F bonds-type enhanced stability. It also affords selectivity imparted by the catalytic process and nano-level detection, such as 20 nM amoxicillin in μl sample volumes. Application of enzyme-based sensors is usually affected by costs, enzyme stability and immobilization and use of additional chemicals. Here, the authors show a cost-effective and robust photoelectrochemical detection system that can mimic enzymatic sensors using only air and light.

Photooxidation of 2-(tert-Butyl)-3-Methyl-2,3,5,6,7,8-Hexahydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one, an Example of Singlet Oxygen ene Reaction.

Project description:Singlet oxygen ene reactions produce 2-(tert-butyl)-4a-hydroperoxy-3-methyl-2,4a, 5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinazolin-4(3H)-one quantitatively during diffusion crystallization of 2-(tert-butyl)-3-methyl-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one in n-hexane/CH2Cl2 solvent mixture. To confirm this photo-oxidation, a 1H-NMR study in CDCl3 was performed with exposure to ambient conditions (light and oxygen), with neither additional reactants nor catalysts. A theoretical study at the B3LyP/6311++G** level using the QST2 method of locating transition states suggests a two-step mechanism where the intermediate, which unexpectedly did not come from the peroxide intermediate, has a low activation energy.

Surface Loading Dictates Triplet Production via Singlet Fission in Anthradithiophene Sensitized TiO2 Films.

Project description:Singlet fission, the process of transforming a singlet excited state into two lower energy triplet excited states, is a promising strategy for improving the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells. The difficulty in utilizing singlet fission molecules in this architecture is understanding and controlling the orientation of dyes on mesoporous metal oxide surfaces to maximize triplet production and minimize detrimental deactivation pathways, such as electron injection from the singlet or excimer formation. Here, we varied the concentration of loading solutions of two anthradithiophene dyes derivatized with either one or two carboxylic acid groups for binding to a metal oxide surface and studied their photophysics using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy. For the single carboxylic acid case, an increase in dye surface coverage led to an increase in apparent triplet excited-state growth via singlet fission, while the same increase in coverage with two carboxylic acids did not. This study represents a step toward controlling the interactions between molecules at mesoporous interfaces.

Singlet Oxygen during Cycling of the Aprotic Sodium-O2 Battery.

Project description:Aprotic sodium-O2 batteries require the reversible formation/dissolution of sodium superoxide (NaO2 ) on cycling. Poor cycle life has been associated with parasitic chemistry caused by the reactivity of electrolyte and electrode with NaO2 , a strong nucleophile and base. Its reactivity can, however, not consistently explain the side reactions and irreversibility. Herein we show that singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) forms at all stages of cycling and that it is a main driver for parasitic chemistry. It was detected in- and ex-situ via a 1 O2 trap that selectively and rapidly forms a stable adduct with 1 O2 . The 1 O2 formation mechanism involves proton-mediated superoxide disproportionation on discharge, rest, and charge below ca. 3.3 V, and direct electrochemical 1 O2 evolution above ca. 3.3 V. Trace water, which is needed for high capacities also drives parasitic chemistry. Controlling the highly reactive singlet oxygen is thus crucial for achieving highly reversible cell operation.

Unveiling singlet oxygen spin trapping in catalytic oxidation processes using in situ kinetic EPR analysis.

Project description:Singlet oxygen (1O2) plays a pivotal role in numerous catalytic oxidation processes utilized in water purification and chemical synthesis. The spin-trapping method based on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis is commonly employed for 1O2 detection. However, it is often limited to time-independent acquisition. Recent studies have raised questions about the reliability of the 1O2 trapper, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMP), in various systems. In this study, we introduce a comprehensive, kinetic examination to monitor the spin-trapping process in EPR analysis. The EPR intensity of the trapping product was used as a quantitative measurement to evaluate the concentration of 1O2 in aqueous systems. This in situ kinetic study was successfully applied to a classical photocatalytic system with exceptional accuracy. Furthermore, we demonstrated the feasibility of our approach in more intricate 1O2-driven catalytic oxidation processes for water decontamination and elucidated the molecular mechanism of direct TEMP oxidation. This method can avoid the false-positive results associated with the conventional 2D 1O2 detection techniques, and provide insights into the reaction mechanisms in 1O2-dominated catalytic oxidation processes. This work underscores the necessity of kinetic studies for spin-trapping EPR analysis, presenting an avenue for a comprehensive exploration of the mechanisms governing catalytic oxidation processes.
