Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Abstract

The relative intensity of photosensitized phosphorescence of singlet oxygen (1O2) at 1270 nm (L1270) and1O2-induced delayed fluorescence (Ldf) of bacteriopheophytin a (BPh) (770 nm) in air-saturated solutions of BPh in hexafluorobenzene in excitation by 337-nm pulses of a nitrogen laso is investigated. It is established that Ldf≪L1270. The ratio of the initial intensity of delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence of1O2(Ldf)0/(L1270)0 changed from 0.02 to 0.30 as a function of the energies of laser pulses (2.5–5.0 mJ/cm1) and the BPh concentration (6–18 μM). As the index of quantum efficiency of the delayed fluorescence, the authors used the coefficient

$$\alpha = [(L_{df} )_0 /(L_{1{\text{270}}} )_0 ]k_r /(\gamma f[^1 O_{\text{2}} ]_0 [Bpn),$$

where [1O2]0 is the initial concentration of1O2 after the laser burst; [Bpn] is the concentration of BPh; kr is the constant of the rate of1O2 radiative deactivation in the solvent under study; γf is the quantum yield of BPh fluorescence. It is established that this coefficient is smaller by a factor of ∼2000 than in phthalocyanine, while its absolute value is ∼2·1010M−2sec−1. The saturation of BPh solutions with oxygen at atmospheric pressure is shown to lead to a fivefold attenuation of the delayed fluorescence as compared to air-saturated solutions. The possibility of BPh triplet molecules being involved in the radiation of delayed fluorescence of the pigment is discussed.
