Abstract
The contribution of singlet oxygen ( 1 Δ gO 2) to the photofading of Crystal Violet in some solvents is examined. The rates of photofading in dichloromethane or acetone are accelerated in the presence of singlet oxygen sensitizers, e.g. Methylene Blue. The rates are retarded by adding effective singlet oxygen quenchers such as β-carotene or nickel dimethyldithiocarbamate. It seem shtat Crystal Violet is mainly photooxidized to give Michler's ketone and p-dimethylaminophenol via the reaction with singlet oxygen, which can be generated by the dye itself or by an added sensitizer. The effect of various singlet oxygen quenchers on the photostability of coloured materials derived from colour formers, such as Crystal Violet Lactone and 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-anilinofluoran, is examined also on silica gel.
