Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) stands as an efficacious modality for the treatment of cancer and various diseases, in which optimization of the electron transfer and augmentation of the production of lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) represent pivotal challenges to enhance its therapeutic efficacy. Empirical investigations have established that the spontaneous initiation of redox reactions associated with electron transfer is feasible and is located in the gas-liquid interfaces. Meanwhile, nanobubbles (NBs) are emerging as entities capable of furnishing a plethora of such interfaces, attributed to their stability and large surface/volume ratio in bulk water. Thus, NBs provide a chance to expedite the electron-transfer kinetics within the context of PDT in an ambient environment. In this paper, we present a pioneering exploration into the impact of nitrogen nanobubbles (N2-NBs) on the electron transfer of the photosensitizer levofloxacin (LEV). Transient absorption spectra and time-resolved decay spectra, as determined through laser flash photolysis, unequivocally reveal that N2-NBs exhibit a mitigating effect on the decay of the LEV excitation triplet state, thereby facilitating subsequent processes. Of paramount significance is the observation that the presence of N2-NBs markedly accelerates the electron transfer of LEV, albeit with a marginal inhibitory influence on its energy-transfer reaction. This observation is corroborated through absorbance measurements and offers compelling evidence substantiating the role of NBs in expediting electron transfer within the ambit of PDT. The mechanism elucidated herein sheds light on how N2-NBs intricately influence both electron-transfer and energy-transfer reactions in the photosensitizer LEV. These findings not only contribute to a nuanced understanding of the underlying processes but also furnish novel insights that may inform the application of NBs in the realm of photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Quetiapine (QTP) (1), a psychotropic agent belonging to a chemical class, dibenzothiazepine derivatives, is photosensitive and photolabile. Its photochemistry was studied in the presence of an electron donor N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) and an electron acceptor 1,4-dicyanobenzene (DCB) under anaerobic conditions. This resulted in photoinduced electron transfer-mediated transformation of drug QTP. Irradiation of Quetiapine (QTP, 1) in the presence of electron donor N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) under anaerobic conditions in a photochemical reactor afforded one major photoproduct 2 when irradiation of QTP (1) was carried out in the presence of electron acceptor 1,4-dicyanobenzene (DCB) under similar conditions; it afforded 3 as a major photoproduct. These photoproducts were isolated and characterized on the basis of their spectral (IR, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectra) studies. The photophysical properties of Quetiapine were also determined in several solvents to investigate the relevance of the molecular structure in their photophysics and consequently in their photochemistry.

Abstract
The oxidation of diethyl and diphenyl sulfide photosensitized by dicyanoanthracene (DCA), N-methylquinolinium tetrafluoroborate (NMQ(+)), and triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPP(+)) has been explored by steady-state and laser flash photolysis studies in acetonitrile, methanol, and 1,2-dichloroethane. In the Et(2)S/DCA system sulfide-enhanced intersystem crossing leads to generation of (1)O(2), which eventually gives the sulfoxide via a persulfoxide; this mechanism plays no role with Ph(2)S, though enhanced formation of (3)DCA has been demonstrated. In all other cases an electron-transfer (ET) mechanism is involved. Electron-transfer sulfoxidation occurs with efficiency essentially independent of the sulfide structure, is subject to quenching by benzoquinone, and does not lead to Ph(2)SO cooxidation. Formation of the radical cations R(2)S(*+) has been assessed by flash photolysis (medium-dependent yield, dichloroethane>>CH(3)CN>CH(3)OH) and confirmed by quenching with 1,4-dimethoxybenzene. Electron-transfer oxidations occur both when the superoxide anion is generated by the reduced sensitizer (DCA(*-), NMQ(*)) and when this is not the case (TPP(*)). Although it is possible that different mechanisms operate with different ET sensitizers, a plausible unitary mechanism can be proposed. This considers that reaction between R(2)S(*+) and O(2)(*-) mainly involves back electron transfer, whereas sulfoxidation results primarily from the reaction of the sulfide radical cation with molecular oxygen. Calculations indeed show that the initially formed fleeting complex RS(2)(+)...O-O(*) adds to a sulfide molecule and gives strongly stabilized R(2)S-O(*)-(+)O-SR(2) via an accessible transition state. This intermediate gives the sulfoxide, probably via a radical cation chain path. This mechanism explains the larger scope of ET sulfoxidation with respect to the singlet-oxygen process.

Abstract
Ultrafast infrared transient absorption spectroscopy is used to study the photoinduced bimolecular electron transfer reaction between perylene in the first singlet excited state and 1,4-dicyanobenzene in acetonitrile and dichloromethane. Following vibrational marker modes on both donor and acceptor sides in real time provides direct insight into the structural dynamics during the reaction. A band narrowing on a time scale of a few tens of picoseconds observed on the antisymmetric CN stretching vibration of the dicyanobenzene radical anion indicates that a substantial part of the excess energy is channeled into vibrational modes of the product, despite the fact that the reaction is weakly exergonic. An additional narrowing of the same band on a time scale of several hundreds of picoseconds observed in acetonitrile only is interpreted as a signature of the dissociation of the geminate ion pairs into free ions.
