<title>On the possibility of realizing the singlet oxygen generator on the base of optically pumped fullerenes and of fullerene-like nanoparticles</title>

Abstract

SWe present the experimental results on singlet oxygen generation via interaction of pumping photons (laser or lamp light), fullerenes (or fullerene-like nanoparticles -astralens) and oxygen in solid-state structures, in solutions and in suspensions. It was shown that the singlet oxygen is adsorbed by the solid-state ftillerene coating and by powder-like astralen. It was shown that in course of evaporation of the solution (due to the pump action) is observed the singlet oxygen extraction to the gaseous phase, and the lifetime of 'AO grows significantly.
