a

Quantum yield of singlet oxygen production; n.d. = not determined (compounds are not soluble); determined using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran as a 1O2 trap and methylene blue as a standard sensitizer.

b

Quantum yield of photodecomposition (disappearance).

c

Bimolecular rate constants of the reaction of Cy7 derivatives with singlet oxygen.

d

Ref (22).

e

40% DMSO + 60% water.

f

In water.

g

70% DMSO + 30% water.

h

In PBS (pH 7.4, c = 10 mM, I = 100 mM).
