[Participation of oxygen in the reduction of methylviologen, photosensitized by chlorophyll, in an aqueous solution of detergent].
Dependence of chlorophyll "a" photosensitized reduction of methylviologene with tiourea on the temperature of reaction mixture was studied in aerobic conditions in triton X-100 aqueous solution. It was found that the reaction consisted of two stages: the light and dark ones. Photosensitized oxidation of tiourea with air oxygen proceeds at the temperatures up to -70 degrees C. Reduction of methylviologen is a dark stage for which diffusion processes are necessary. The role of hydrogen peroxide in the reaction studied has been investigated. It has been shown that hydrogen peroxide is not the "initiator" of the reaction which results in the reduction of methylviologen. Reduced glutation and the mixture of reduced and oxidized glutations were used as electron donors in photosensitized reaction in the presence of air oxygen. An increase of the depth and rate of the reduction of methylviologen under aerobic conditions as compared to anaerobic ones points to the formation of more active reducers than the initial electron donor.
