The first singlet excited state of molecular oxygen ((1)O(2)) is an important oxidant in chemistry, biology, and medicine. (1)O(2) is most often generated through photosensitized excitation of ground-state oxygen. (1)O(2) can also be generated chemically through the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and other peroxides. However, most of these "dark oxygenations" require water-rich media associated with short (1)O(2) lifetimes, and there is a need for oxygenations able to be conducted in organic ...[more]
