Abstract

In this paper we report the synthesis and the characterization of cyclo- and polyphosphazenes supporting Rose Bengal. These substrates are suitable for the photosensitized generation of singlet oxygen, both in homogeneous and in heterogeneous phase. The efficiency of1O2 production has been measured in homogeneous solution using, as photosensitizer, the cyclophosphazene-bound Rose Bengal and considering, as testing reaction, the oxidation of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran; it was found comparable to that of free Rose Bengal in the same experimental conditions.
