title: Singlet oxygen yields of furocoumarins and related molecules--the effect of excitation wavelength.
abstract: Singlet oxygen yields (phi delta) were compared for a wide range of furocoumarins and related compounds using excitation wavelengths of 313, 334 and 365 nm. The phi delta values ranged from 0.02 or less to 0.4, but no wavelength dependence was detected for any of the compounds studied.
