TL;DR: Experiments and ab initio computations indicate that the photophysical properties of alkyne-containing sensitizers are similar to those in the alkene-containing analogues, but in comparison to the analogue that contains double bonds, the sensitizer containingAlkyne moieties is more stable against singlet-oxygen-mediated photooxygenation reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Of the molecules examined, the most efficient singlet oxygen sensitizers had triethylene glycol units as the functional group that imparted water solubility, and rapid charge-transfer-mediated non-radiative processes appear to dominate excited state deactivation.
