Project title, type and project number

On demand generation of singlet oxygen in organic solutions and water, OPUS 20 Project No. 2020/39/B/ST4/01956, 51/2024

Project leader

Aleksander Gorski, Dr

Description

The aim of the project is the developing of biologically
relevant bichromophores complexes with, from one side,
the ability of enhanced singlet oxygen formation and, from
other side, the ability of tight control of singlet oxygen
concentration by depletion (e.g. consumption of singlet
oxygen during endoperoxides formation) in organic solvents
and in water/micelles solutions.
