Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Solid phase photosensitizer for generation of singlet oxygen." This invention involves a solid phase photosensitizer and a method for photochemical generation of singlet oxygen. The sensitizer consists of one or more layers of an organic polycrystalline dye solid that absorbs radiant energy to release triplet excitons. In cases where multiple layers are used, the triplet state energies of the layers decrease toward the outer surface. Additionally, a sub-monomolecular surface layer of organic molecules has a triplet state energy that is less than that of the adjacent dye-solid layer but greater than that of molecular oxygen. This layer effectively traps exciton energy at the sensitizer surface for reaction with gaseous molecular ground state oxygen directed thereover.
Another notable patent is "Storage and retrieval of singlet oxygen." This invention relates to the production of singlet oxygen and includes methods for its storage and retrieval, as well as continuous production from ground state oxygen. The process involves oxidizing certain aromatic acceptor compounds to yield solid endoperoxides, which can be decomposed to produce singlet oxygen and regenerate the acceptor. Continuous production of singlet oxygen is achieved through the irradiation of dye sensitizers with electromagnetic radiation, activating them and exciting flowing ground state oxygen.
