Abstract

The quenching rate constants of singlet oxygen lifetime by dialkylamino azo dyes 1 and tautomeric azo dyes 2 and 5 (as well as azo-and hydrazone-model methylated derivatives 3 and 4) were determined by measuring the 1.27-gm'Oz emission lifetime, and the values obtained are in the range 106-108 M-'s-'. The quenching involves a charge-transfer interaction, and different correlations with the oxidation potentials of the two classes of azo ...
