Both bacteriochlorophyllaand bacteriopheophytinalead to a substantial photosensitized yield of singlet oxygen in several environments. The triplet quantum yields of bacteriochlorophyllain non-deuterated solvents are somewhat lower than those of bacteriopheophytinabut the singlet oxygen quantum yields are rather similar. Both bacterial pigments react very efficiently with singlet oxygen with second-order rate constants near the diffusion-controlled limit. These results are discussed with respect to the bacterial pigment triplet energy level and the possible use of bacterial systems as “second generation” photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy of cancer.
