Abstract
Molecular oxygen, O2, has long provided a cornerstone for studies in chemistry, physics, and biology. Although the triplet ground state, O2(X3Σg-), has garnered much attention, the lowest excited electronic state, O2(a1Δg), commonly called singlet oxygen, has attracted appreciable interest, principally because of its unique chemical reactivity in systems ranging from the Earth's atmosphere to biological cells. Because O2(a1Δg) can be produced and deactivated in processes that involve light, the photophysics of O2(a1Δg) are equally important. Moreover, pathways for O2(a1Δg) deactivation that regenerate O2(X3Σg-), which address fundamental principles unto themselves, kinetically compete with the chemical reactions of O2(a1Δg) and, thus, have practical significance. Due to technological advances (e.g., lasers, optical detectors, microscopes), data acquired in the past ∼20 years have increased our understanding of O2(a1Δg) photophysics appreciably and facilitated both spatial and temporal control over the behavior of O2(a1Δg). One goal of this Review is to summarize recent developments that have broad ramifications, focusing on systems in which oxygen forms a contact complex with an organic molecule M (e.g., a liquid solvent). An important concept is the role played by the M+•O2-• charge-transfer state in both the formation and deactivation of O2(a1Δg).

Abstract
Photochemical generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) often relies on homogenous systems; however, a dissolved photosensitizer (PS) may be unsuitable for some applications because it is difficult to recover, expensive to replenish, and hazardous to the environment. Isolation of the PS onto a solid support can overcome these limitations, but implementation faces other challenges, including agglomeration of the solid PS, physical quenching of 1O2 by the support, photooxidation of the PS, and hypoxic environments. Here, we explore a superhydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (SH-PDMS) support coated with the photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)-21H,23H-porphyrin (TFPP). This approach seeks to address the challenges of a heterogeneous system by using a support that exhibits low 1O2 physical quenching rates, a fluorinated PS that is chemically resistant to photooxidation, and a superhydrophobic surface that entraps a layer of air, thus preventing hypoxia. Absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy reveal the monomeric arrangement of TFPP on SH-PDMS surfaces, a surprising but favorable characteristic for a solid-phase PS on 1O2 yields. We also investigated the effect of incident wavelength on 1O2 yields for TFPP in aqueous solution and immobilized on SH-PDMS and found overall yields to be dependent on the absorption coefficient, while the yield per absorbed photon exhibited wavelength independence, in accordance with Kasha-Vavilov's rule.

Abstract
We have prepared photoactive multifunctional nanofiber membranes via the simple electrospinning method. The antibacterial and photocatalytic properties of these materials are based on the generation of singlet oxygen formed by processes photosensitized by the tetraphenylporphyrin encapsulated in the nanofibers. The addition of magnetic features in the form of magnetic maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles stabilized by polyethylenimine enables additional functionalities, namely, the postirradiation formation of hydrogen peroxide and improved photothermal properties. This hybrid material allows for remote manipulation by a magnetic field, even in hazardous and/or highly microbial contaminant environments.

Abstract
Hypericin (HY) is a lipophilic photosensitizer (PS) extensively employed for photodynamic therapy (PDT), presenting high absorption in the visible region, chemical and photostability, as well as a good triplet quantum yield. Supramolecular complexation of photosensitizers into cyclodextrins (CD) is promising to improve their poor solubility, compromising their bioavailability and upcoming applications in PDT. This research produced an inclusion complex between HY and β-CD through the co-solvent method. HY became soluble after inclusion into β-CD cavities, besides retaining its fluorescent and singlet oxygen quantum yields (ϕf =0.115 and ϕΔ= 0.23, respectively), which are essential parameters for PDT uses and are not reported in the literature. By the theoretical analysis, since ΔG < 0, it was easy to conclude that HY inclusion into β-CD is a spontaneous process. Additionally, the complexes presented no changes in excited states after complexation. β-CDHY was 27% more phototoxic than free HY when tested in MCF7 cells using 3 J cm-2 of irradiation, indicating a better cell uptake of HY. These outcomes suggest that the inclusion complex of HY into β-CD has the potential for use in PDT.

Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising approach to control biofilms involved in periodontal diseases. However, certain challenges, such as staining of teeth, preferential interaction of photosensitizer (PS) with Gram-positive versus Gram-negative bacteria, and insufficient oxygen in hypoxic periodontal pockets have presented barriers to its use in the clinic. To overcome these challenges, a novel superhydrophobic (SH) film that generates airborne singlet oxygen has been developed. The SH-aPDT approach isolates the PS onto a topologically rough solid SH film on which channels allow air to diffuse to the PS surface, thus ensuring sufficient oxygen supply. Upon illumination, gas phase singlet oxygen (1O2) is produced and diffuses from the SH surface to the underlying biofilm. The killing efficacy was assessed as a function of transmitted fluence (17.9-89.5 J/cm2) and chorin e6 loading (96-1110 nmol/cm2) by counting of colony forming units, biofilm metabolism by XTT and confocal microscopy. The decrease in viability of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in a multi-species biofilm was found to be linearly dependent on the fluence as well as the loading of the PS up to 71.6 J/cm2 when 1110 nmols/cm2 of chlorin e6 was used. A > 4.6 log bacterial reduction was observed under these conditions (p < 0.05). This novel SH-aPDT approach shows promise as an effective method to disinfect multi-species bacterial biofilms associated with periodontal disease and will be evaluated in animal models in future studies.

Abstract
The maintenance of uric acid levels is crucial for the human body. In this study, the feasibility of using portable ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry to measure the uric acid of spot urine without the need to add reagents has been demonstrated for the first time. UV spectral analysis has been used to inspect the uric acid concentration in urine. It is found that the absorption spectrum of urine has a high correlation with the concentration of uric acid at a wavelength of around 290-300 nm. Uric acid levels measured with a spectral analyzer compared to uric acid concentrations measured with a traditional biochemical analysis showed good agreement. The portable prototype is label-free and capable of displaying the inspection result of each measurement within 10 s. In the long run, this device can assist people in checking uric acid levels of spot urine with higher frequency and can adjust diet or medication in real time for more efficient health management.

Abstract
We prepared antibacterial polystyrene nanoparticles (NPs) with natural photosensitizers from chlorophyll (Chl) extract via a simple nanoprecipitation method using the same solvent for dissolution of the polystyrene matrix and extraction of Chls from spinach leaves. A high photo-oxidation and antibacterial effect was demonstrated on Escherichia coli and was based on the photogeneration of singlet oxygen O2(1Δg), which was directly monitored by NIR luminescence measurements and indirectly verified using a chemical trap. The photoactivity of NPs was triggered by visible light, with enhanced red absorption by Chls. To reduce the quenching effect of carotenoids (β-carotene, lutein, etc.) in the Chl extract, diluted and/or preirradiated samples, in which the photo-oxidized carotenoids lose their quenching effect, were used for preparation of the NPs. For enhanced photo-oxidation and antibacterial effects, a sulfonated polystyrene matrix was used for preparation of a stable dispersion of sulfonated NPs, with the quenching effect of carotenoids being suppressed.

Abstract
Edaravone (3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one) is a synthetic antioxidant used as a drug to treat acute ischemic stroke in Japan and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Japan and the USA. Its pharmacological mechanism is thought to be scavenging of reactive oxygen species, which are intimately related with these diseases. Recently, the singlet oxygen (1O2) has attracted attention among reactive oxygen species. In this study, we investigated the reactivity of edaravone toward 1O2 and identified its reaction products. Edaravone showed a reactivity toward 1O2 greater than those of uric acid, histidine, and tryptophan, which are believed to be 1O2 scavengers in vivo. And we confirmed that 2-oxo-3-(phenylhydrazono)-butanoic acid was formed as an oxidation product. We propose a plausible mechanism for 2-oxo-3-(phenylhydrazono)-butanoic acid production by 1O2-induced edaravone oxidation. Since 2-oxo-3-(phenylhydrazono)-butanoic acid has already been identified as a radical-initiated oxidation product, free radical-induced oxidation should be seriously reconsidered. We also found that edaravone can react with not only hypochlorous anions but also 1O2 that are formed from myeloperoxidase. This result suggests that edaravone treatment can be beneficial against myeloperoxidase-related injuries such as inflammation.

Abstract
DNA reacts directly with UV light with a wavelength shorter than 300 nm. Although ground surface sunlight includes little of this short-wavelength UV light due to its almost complete absorption by the atmosphere, sunlight is the primary cause of skin cancer. Photosensitization by endogenous substances must therefore be involved in skin cancer development mechanisms. Uric acid is the final metabolic product of purines in humans, and is present at relatively high concentrations in cells and fluids. When a neutral mixed solution of 2'-deoxycytidine, 2'-deoxyguanosine, thymidine, and 2'-deoxyadenosine was irradiated with UV light with a wavelength longer than 300 nm in the presence of uric acid, all the nucleosides were consumed in a uric acid dose-dependent manner. These reactions were inhibited by the addition of radical scavengers, ethanol and sodium azide. Two products from 2'-deoxycytidine were isolated and identified as N4-hydroxy-2'-deoxycytidine and N4,5-cyclic amide-2'-deoxycytidine, formed by cycloaddition of an amide group from uric acid. A 15N-labeled uric acid, uric acid-1,3-15N2, having two 14N and two 15N atoms per molecule, produced N4,5-cyclic amide-2'-deoxycytidine containing both 14N and 15N atoms from uric acid-1,3-15N2. Singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, peroxynitrous acid, hypochlorous acid, and hypobromous acid generated neither N4-hydroxy-2'-deoxycytidine nor N4,5-cyclic amide-2'-deoxycytidine in the presence of uric acid. These results indicate that uric acid is a photosensitizer for the reaction of nucleosides by UV light with a wavelength longer than 300 nm, and that an unidentified radical derived from uric acid with a delocalized unpaired electron may be generated.

Abstract
Our recent work demonstrates that certain flavoproteins can catalyze the redox activation of Pt(IV) prodrug complexes under light irradiation. Herein, we used site-directed mutagenesis on the mini singlet oxygen generator (mSOG) to modulate the photocatalytic activity of this flavoprotein toward two model Pt(IV) substrates. Among the prepared mutants, Q103V mSOG displayed enhanced catalytic efficiency as a result of its longer triplet excited-state lifetime. This study shows, for the first time, that protein engineering can improve the catalytic capacity of a protein toward metal-containing substrates.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is the first electronic excited state of molecular oxygen. Due to its non-radical and non-ionic character as well as its mild reactivity, 1O2 has a pivotal role in cell signaling processes at low concentration, yet it is cytotoxic at high concentrations. Quantifying the production of 1O2, particularly in biological systems, is therefore essential for understanding and controlling its effects. 1O2 can be produced by chemical and biological reactions, yet its most common method of production is by photosensitization, whereby an initially photoexcited molecule transfers its acquired electronic energy to the dioxygen molecule. The efficiency of this process is characterized by the 1O2 production quantum yield, ΦΔ, which can be determined by directly monitoring its intrinsic weak near-infrared phosphorescence or indirectly by trapping it with a suitable acceptor, a process that can be monitored by common analytical techniques. Indirect methods are thus very popular, yet they may lead to severe errors if used incorrectly. Herein we describe the common aspects of indirect methods and propose a general step-by-step procedure for the determination of ΦΔ values. In addition, we identify the key experimental conditions that need to be controlled to obtain meaningful results.

Abstract
A novel combination of a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane with pore size 0.2 μm and a photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl)-21H,23H-porphine palladium(II) (PdTFPP) makes a promising hybrid material for the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) and, thus, water treatment applications. The fabricated photocatalytic membrane exhibits permeability of 4280 ± 250 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 and stable photocatalytic degradation performance over a 90 h period, when illuminated with green light (528 ± 20 nm) and operated in a dead-end, single-pass configuration. Methylene blue (MB) degradation of 83% was achieved for MB concentration of 1 mg·L-1 under the flow rate of 0.1 × 10-3 L·min-1 (flux of 30 L·m-2·h-1), light intensity of 21 mW·cm-2, and PdTFPP loading of 25 μmol·g-1. Due to an enhanced mass transfer, the reaction rate of MB removal (with apparent rate constant of kapp = 6.52 min-1) results in an efficient photodegradation of MB inside the PdTFPP-PVDF membrane. The influence of experimental parameters such as catalyst loading, flow rate, light intensity, and solute concentration on MB removal was investigated. This research enables the application of photocatalytic PdTFPP-PVDF membranes as a potential technology for water decontamination under visible-light illumination.
