A kinetic study on the photodynamic properties of the xanthene dye merbromin (mercurochrome) and its aggregates with amino acids in aqueous solution

The photophysical properties and the photobleaching of the xanthene dye merbromin(MR), as well as the production and quenching of singlet molecular oxygen, O₂(¹∆g), were investigated in aqueous solutions, in comparison with the xanthene dyes eosine (Eos) and rose bengal (RB). MR photobleaches in the...
