Table 2.

The magnitude of the photochemical parameters for HPPH.

Symbols Initial valuesa Calculated valuesb
ϵ(cm1μM1) 0.108
δ(μM) 33
β(μM) 11.9 (Refs. 7,21,22)
σ (μM1) (1to10)×105 (1±6)×105
ξ (cm2mW1s1) (10to100)×103 (70±40)×103
g(μMs1) 0.7 to 1.5 1.5±0.9
[O12]rx,sh (mM) 0.5 to 1.0 0.6±0.1
a

The initial guess of the parameters, assigned randomly within the presented ranges.

b

The obtained values by the macroscopic model with their overall error. Notice that the value of ξ is significantly larger than that presented in Ref. 11. This is proportional to a change of ϵ from 0.047, used in Ref. 11, to 0.108 based on experimental verification of the original literature value being based on log10 rather than loge, as used in the current study. Each value is expressed as mean±standard deviation.
