Metalloporphyrins phosphorescence, quenching

The use of metalloporphyrin-based materials for the detection of molecular oxygen is well developed. One approach that has been employed extensively involves the well-known phenomenon of quenching of metalloporphyrin phosphorescence by O2. Due to their high phosphorescence quantum yields and short triplet lifetimes, platinum and palladium porphyrins were originally suggested as probes... 

Following the discovery that the fluorescence of metalloporphyrins is strongly quenched by oxygen57, optical sensor membranes were developed that are suitable for phosphorescent sensing of oxygen58. Table 1 summarizes fundamental articles on optical sensors for oxygen until the year 2000.
