Singlet oxygen, the metastable lowest electronically excited form of the dioxygen molecule, has remained a central research subject since its discovery by Kautsky in 1931. Many reasons account for this. First, this small, nonionic, nonradical form of molecular oxygen meets many of the requirements for a formidable reactive intermediate: its small size allows it to diffuse very easily
across exceedingly “crowded” systems such as polymers and cellular structures. Secondly, its unique electronic structure and excess energy make it highly reactive against a large variety of electron-rich substrates. Finally, its relatively long lifetime, from seconds in the gas phase to a few microseconds in water, gives it plenty of time to reach to and react with remote targets.
Three decades have elapsed since a book devoted to singlet oxygen was last published, 1 yet the advances and knowledge gained during this period are so vast and so wide reaching that many felt the time had come for an update. With this spirit in mind, we accepted the challenge posed by the Series Editor Giulio Jori to bring together the community of singlet oxygen researchers and convey their hard-won knowledge into a book that should inspire others entering the field. Giulio did not live to see his book published yet its publication is a tribute to his memory.
