单重态氧及其近年来在有机合成中的应用

现在不仅有机化学家,而且生物化学家和生物学家对单重态氧化学都感到兴趣。因为单重态氧与有机物的反应能力很强,而且还与有机材料受光和氧的破坏作用、以及动植物的生命过程等~([1,2])有一定联系. 单重态分子氧氧原子在组成氧分子时,按分子轨道理论的解释,应该有一对电子填入能量相同的两个简并反键轨道π~*2p_v和π~*2p_z上。根据洪特规则,这两个电子尽可能分占不同轨道,且自旋平行。氧分子的这种电子状态,即是三重态。由于具有g对称性,所以是~3∑_g态。在激发态时,氧分子的两个π~*电子可同时占据一个π~*轨道,其自旋相反,这便是氧分子的第一激发单重态,它也具有g对称性,故电子态是~1△_g。如果两个电子分占不同的π~*轨道,且自旋相反,这是氧分子的第二激发单重态(~1∑_g)。激发态氧分子虽有各种单重态,但一般用的单重态氧为其最低激发态,即~1△_g状态(~1O_2)~([2,3])。

Bis-cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes as efficient singlet oxygen sensitizers

We report the singlet oxygen sensitization properties of a series of bis-cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes (i.e., (bt)2Ir(acac), (bsn)2Ir(acac), and (pq)2Ir(acac); bt = 2-phenylbenzothiazole, bsn = 2-(1-naphthyl)benzothiazole, pq = 2-phenylquinoline, and acac = acetylacetonate). Complexes with acetylacetonate ancillary ligands give singlet oxygen quantum yields near unity (PhiDelta = (0.7-1.0) +/- 0.1), whether exciting the ligand-based state or the lowest energy excited state (MLCT + 3LC). The singlet oxygen quenching rates for these beta-diketonate complexes were found to be small [(5 +/- 2) x 105 to (6 +/- 0.2) x 106 M-1 s-1], roughly 3 orders of magnitude slower than the corresponding phosphorescence quenching rate. Similar complexes were prepared with glycine or pyridine tethered to the Ir(III) center (i.e., (bsn)2Ir(gly) and (bt)2Ir(py)Cl; gly = glycine and py = pyridine). The glycine and pyridine derivatives give high singlet oxygen yields (PhiDelta = (0.7-1.0) +/- 0.1).     

Photosensitized generation of singlet oxygen

This work gives an overview of what is currently known about the mechanisms of the photosensitized production of singlet oxygen. Quenching of pi pi* excited triplet states by O2 proceeds via internal conversion of excited encounter complexes and exciplexes of sensitizer and O2. Both deactivation channels lead with different efficiencies to singlet oxygen generation. The balance between the deactivation channels depends on the triplet-state energy and oxidation potential of the sensitizer, and on the solvent polarity. A model has been developed that reproduces rate constants and efficiencies of the competing processes quantitatively. Sensitization by excited singlet states is much more complex and hence only qualitative rules could be elaborated, despite serious efforts of many groups. However, the most important deactivation paths of fluorescence quenching by O2 are again directed by excess energies and charge-transfer interactions similar to triplet-state quenching by O2. Finally, two recent developments in photosensitization of singlet oxygen are reviewed: Two-photon sensitizers with particular application potential for photodynamic therapy and fluorescence imaging of biological samples and singlet oxygen sensitization by nanocrystalline porous silicon, a material with very different photophysics compared to molecular sensitizers.     

Photosensitized generation of singlet oxygen from ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) bipyridyl complexes

Photophysical properties for a number ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) bipyridyl complexes are reported in dilute acetonitrile solution. The lifetimes of the excited metal to ligand charge transfer states (MLCT) of the osmium complexes are shorter than for the ruthenium complexes. Rate constants, kq, for quenching of the lowest excited metal to ligand charge transfer states by molecular oxygen are found to be in the range (1.1-7.7) x 10(9) dm3 mol(-1) s(-1). Efficiencies of singlet oxygen production, fDeltaT, following oxygen quenching of the lowest excited states of these ruthenium and osmium complexes are in the range of 0.10-0.72, lower values being associated with those compounds having lower oxidation potentials. The rate constants for quenching of the excited MLCT states, kq, are found to be generally higher for osmium complexes than for ruthenium complexes. Overall quenching rate constants, kq were found to give an inverse correlation with the energy of the excited state being quenched, and also to correlate with the oxidation potentials of the complexes. However, when the contribution of quenching due exclusively to energy transfer to produce singlet oxygen, kq1, is considered, its dependence on the energy of the excited states is more complex. Rate constants for quenching due to energy dissipation of the excited MLCT states without energy transfer, kq3, were found to show a clear correlation with the oxidation potential of the complexes. Factors affecting both the mechanism of oxygen quenching of the excited states and the efficiency of singlet oxygen generation following this quenching are discussed. These factors include the oxidation potential, the energy of the lowest excited state of the complexes and spin-orbit coupling constant of the central metal.     

An AIE singlet oxygen generation system based on supramolecular strategy

The design of supramolecular system s with efficient singlet oxygen generation has attracted considerable interests.Herein,an AIE-based singlet oxygen generation system with chemiluminescence properties is reported in aqueous media based on supramolecular host-guest assembly between a water-soluble pillar[5]arene(WP5) and an AIE photosensitizer(TPEDM).The formed supramolecular nanoparticles exhibit significant singlet oxygen generation ability as well as enhanced fluorescence.In addition,by introducing catalase,this H_2 O_2-responsive supramolecular system shows increased ~1 O_2 generation efficiency compared with the blank nanoparticles.An efficient chemiluminescence system can also be achieved by entrapping an energy donor adamantane derivative(AMPPD).Moreover,the present system can function as nanoreactors to perform the photooxidation of dopamine to form polydopamine with visible light irradiation.This wo rk provides a new strategy for the construction of ~1 O_2 generation system based on supramolecular nanomaterials,which has potential applications in the fields such as chemiluminescence imaging and controlled photocatalysis.     

New pi-extended water-soluble squaraines as singlet oxygen generators

[graph: see text] Condensation of squaric acid with a number of differently substituted 2-pyrrolyl derivatives afforded three new classes of squaraines. Their sharp and intense absorption bands in the biological window (700-900 nm), inherent singlet oxygen generation capabilities, together with proper functionalization allowing good water solubility make them suitable candidates as new non-porphyrinic singlet oxygen photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT).     

Theoretical and experimental analysis of the luminescence signal of singlet oxygen for different photosensitizers

After the generation by different photosensitizers, the direct detection of singlet oxygen is performed by measuring its luminescence at 1270 nm. Using an infrared sensitive photomultiplier, the complete rise and decay time of singlet oxygen luminescence is measured at different concentrations of a photosensitizer, quencher, or oxygen. This allows the extraction of important information about the photosensitized generation of singlet oxygen and its decay, in particular at different oxygen concentrations. Based on theoretical considerations all important relaxation rates and rate constants were determined for the triplet T(1) states of the photosensitizers and for singlet oxygen. In particular, depending on the oxygen or quencher concentration, the rise or the decay time of the luminescence signal exhibit different meanings regarding the lifetime of singlet oxygen or triplet T(1)-state. To compare with theory, singlet oxygen was generated by nine different photosensitizers dissolved in either H2O, D2O or EtOD. When using H2O as solvent, the decaying part of the luminescence signal is frequently not the lifetime of singlet oxygen, in particular at low oxygen concentration. Since cells show low oxygen concentrations, this must have an impact when looking at singlet oxygen detection in vitro or in vivo.     

Effect of histidine on the sensitized generation of singlet oxygen in the complexes with chlorophyll

The energies of the intermolecular interactions of an O₂ molecule in the ground and excited states with the electron-excited and non-excited model complexes of chlorophyll were calculated using the DFT, CASSCF, SA-CASSCF, MCQDPT2, and XMCQDPT2 methods. The activation energies of formation and dissociation of the oxygen complexes were estimated. The radiative electric dipole moments of (0 → 0) spin-allowed S → S, T → T, and spin-forbidden S → T transitions were calculated taking into account the spin-orbit coupling, and rate constants of nonradiative transitions that determine the generation and deactivation of the O₂ molecule (¹Δ_g) were evaluated. The effect of histidine on the probability of singlet oxygen generation sensitized by the model chlorophyll complex was considered in detail.     

Cyclometalated iridium and platinum complexes as singlet oxygen photosensitizers: quantum yields, quenching rates and correlation with electronic structures

Photophysical properties are reported for a series of cyclometalated platinum and iridium complexes that can serve as photosensitizers for singlet oxygen. The complexes have the formula (C;N)(2)Ir(O;O) or (C;N)Pt(O;O) where C;N is a monoanionic cyclometalating ligand such as 2-(phenyl)pyridyl and 2-(phenyl)quinolyl, and O;O is the ancillary ligand acetylacetonate (acac) or dipivaloylmethane (dpm). Also examined were a series of (N;N)PtMe(2) complexes where N;N is a diimine such as 2,2'-bipyridyl. In general, the cyclometalated complexes are excellent photosensitizers for the production of singlet oxygen, while the (N;N)PtMe(2) complexes were ineffective at this reaction. Quantum yields of singlet oxygen production range from 0.9-1.0 for the cyclometalated Pt complexes and 0.5-0.9 for Ir complexes. Luminescence quenching and singlet oxygen formation of the Ir complexes occurs from a combination of electron and energy transfer processes, whereas the Pt complexes only react by energy transfer. For Ir complexes with low emission energy, physical deactivation of the triplet excited state becomes competitive with energy transfer to ground state dioxygen. The rates of singlet oxygen quenching for the complexes presented here are in the range 6 x 10(6)-2 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) for Pt complexes and 2 x 10(5)-2 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) for Ir complexes, respectively. Differences in the efficiency of both forming and quenching singlet oxygen between the Ir and Pt cyclometalates are believed to come about from the more exposed coordination geometry in the latter species.     

Photogenerated singlet oxygen over zeolite-confined carbon dots for shape selective catalysis

Singlet oxygen as an activated oxygen species played an important role in organic synthesis. Suitable catalyst for converting ubiquitous oxygen molecule to singlet oxygen under mild conditions has attracted a wide range of attention. Herein, carbon dots have been confined into mesopores of silicalite-1 nanocrystals framework and acted as active sites for generation of singlet oxygen. The high oxygen-adsorption capacity of zeolite nanocrystals facilitated the photocatalytic generation rate of singlet oxygen, outpacing the free-standing carbon dots for 14-fold. The integrated carbon dot-zeolite nanocrystal hybrid also exhibited a special size-dependent selectivity for organic synthesis by using the in situ formed and confined singlet oxygen as active oxygen species.     

One- and two-photon singlet oxygen generation with new fluorene-based photosensitizers.

The spectral properties of new fluorene-based photosensitizers for efficient singlet oxygen production are investigated at room temperature and 77 K. Two-photon absorption (2PA) cross-sections of the fluorene derivatives are measured by the open aperture Z-scan method. The quantum yields of singlet oxygen generation under one- and two-photon excitation (phi(delta) and 2PAphi(delta), respectively), are determined by the direct measurement of singlet oxygen luminescence at approximately 1270 nm. The values of phi(delta) are independent of excitation wavelength, ranging from 0.6-0.9. The singlet oxygen quantum yields under two-photon excitation are 2PAphi(delta) approximately 1/2 phi(delta), indicating that the two processes exhibit the same mechanism of singlet oxygen production, independent of the mechanism of photon absorption.
