Photodriven Oxygen Removal via Chromophore-Mediated Singlet Oxygen Sensitization and Chemical Capture.

We report a general, photochemical method for the rapid deoxygenation of organic solvents and aqueous solutions via visible light excitation of transition metal chromophores (TMCs) in the presence of singlet oxygen scavenging substrates. Either 2,5-dimethylfuran or an amino acid (histidine or tryptophan methyl ester) was used as the substrate in conjunction with an iridium or ruthenium TMC in toluene, acetonitrile, or water. This behavior is described for solutions with chromophore concentrations that are pertinent for both luminescence and transient absorption spectroscopies. These results consistently produce TMC lifetimes comparable to those measured using traditional inert gas sparging and freeze-pump-thaw techniques. This method has the added benefits of providing long-term stability (days to months); economical preparation due to use of inexpensive, commercially available oxygen scrubbing substrates; and negligible size and weight footprints compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, attainment of dissolved [O2] < 50 μM makes this method relevant to any solution application requiring low dissolved oxygen concentration in solution, provided that the oxygenated substrate does not interfere with the intended chemical process.
