Abstract

Abstract— Rabbit erythrocyte cell ghosts were prepared containing tetrasodium meso‐tetra (4‐sulfona‐to‐phenyl) porphine (12‐hydrate), a water soluble porphyrin. Laser flash kinetic spectroscopy of the suspension revealed a difference spectrum consistent with the porphyrin T, state. The time profiles of the signal decay were bi‐exponential, and oxygen quenched each of the two components differently. Triplet‐triplet extinction coefficients and quantum yields were lower for the ghost suspension than for porphyrin in solution. Fluorescence lifetime studies of the suspension also showed the presence of two components. Singlet oxygen luminescence, as measured by germanium diode detection, was observed, with a lifetime of 46 (jls and a 4>A of 0.09.
