Photosensitized oxidation of sulfides: Discriminating between the singlet-oxygen mechanism and electron transfer involving superoxide anion or molecular oxygen

The oxidation of diethyl and diphenyl sulfide photosensitized by dicyanoanthracene (DCA), N-methylquinolinium tetrafluoroborate (NMQ +), and triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPP+) has been explored by steady-state and laser flash photolysis studies in acetonitrile, methanol, and 1,2-dichloroetha...
