Caging and photo-triggered uncaging of singlet oxygen by excited state engineering of electron donor–acceptor-linked molecular sensors

Abstract Singlet oxygen (1O2), one of the most sought-after species in oxidative chemical reactions and photodynamic cancer therapy, is activated and neutralized in the atmosphere and living cells. It is essential to see "when" and "where" 1O2 is produced and delivered to underst...
