Abstract
The ozonides of several phosphites in solution in dichloromethane have been reacted with some scavengers of singlet oxygen (1O2) like rubrene (2), tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (4), and 9,10-diphenylanthracene (6). These ozonides react on the scavengers (−47 °C < t <30 °C) upon their decomposition. The Foote curves obtained by varying the respective concentrations of ozonides and of scavengers lead to parameters similar to those obtained upon the photooxidation of the scavengers by 1O2. Results confirm that these ozonides can lead to the formation of 1O2. The absolute yield of 1O2 is 100% (ρ = 1). These results also confirm the high efficiency of the rubrene toward 1O2 (γ = 1) and the lower efficiency of the tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (γ = 0.46). However, the low value (γ = 0.3) for the efficiency of the 9,10-diphenylanthracene (4) is unexpected.
