An accelerating effect of water, greater than two orders of magnitude, is observed for the photo-oxygenation of disodium 3,3'-(1,4-naphthylidene)dipropionate at variance with the current assumption on the constancy of the rate constant of 1O2 cycloadditions in various solvents.
Search for Singlet Oxygen in the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide by Mineral Compounds in Aqueous Solutions

The possibility of singlet oxygen (1O2) occurrence in the decomposition of H2O2 by mineral compounds in aqueous basic solutions was examined.Tetrapotassium rubrene-2,3,8,9-tetrcarboxylate was used as a trap, giving an endoperoxide detected by HPLC.We found that four families of mineral compounds lead to the formation of the endoperoxide: the oxides of the alkaline earths Ca, Sr, and Ba; the derivatives of elements of groups 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A in d0 configuration (expect niobium); the oxides of actinides and lanthanides; and finally the oxidizers ClO-, BrO-, Au3+, IO3-, and IO4-.One compound in each family was selected for further investigation in order to strengthen the 1O2 hypothesis.Thus, the yield of the endoperoxide of potassium 9,10-diphenylanthracene-2,3,6,7-tetracarboxylate was enhanced when the parent compound was introduced in a mixture of H2O2 + (ClO-, Nd2O3, MoO42-, Ca(OH)2 + deuterated water instead of light water.
