This book presents the fundamentals and the state of the art of the
photophysics of molecular oxygen. The author examines optical
transitions between the lowest-lying electronic states in molecular
oxygen and how these transitions respond to perturbation, either
from an organic molecule or from the plasmon field of a metal
nanoparticle. We live on a planet filled with light and oxygen. The
interaction between these two components forms the basis of excited
state chemistry spanning the fields of synthetic organic chemistry,
materials chemistry, molecular biology, and photodynamic treatment
of cancer. Still, the fundamental ways in which oxygen is affected
by light is an active subject of research and is continually being
developed and rationalized. In this book, readers will learn that
singlet oxygen, the excited state of oxygen that exhibits unique
chemical reactivity, can be selectively made via direct optical
excitation of oxygen in a sensitizer-free system. Readers will also
discover that this approach can perturb living cells differently
depending on the singlet oxygen "dose".
