The development of models requires more knowledge about the chemical, physical, morphologic, and flow properties of the mucus layer the kinetics of the reactions of ozone in the mucus and tissue layers and the molecular diffusivity of ozone in these layers. Similar information is needed for the hydroperozy and singlet oxygen, O, (a A), free radicals, which are reactive interme ates in photochemical smog. 

Reaction 8.6 produces atomic oxygen in an excited (lD) electronic state, singlet oxygen. This is important in the troposphere too, as 0( D) reacts with water vapor to produce chemically reactive hydroxyl radicals, -OH ... 

In 2007, a report on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) described the reaction with singlet oxygen [66]. Purification was simplified due to the contrasting solubility properties of unfunctionalized and oxyfunctionalized SWCNTs, although it was uncertain whether the SWCNT peroxides were formed from a [2 + 2]-cycload-dition, a [2 + 4]-cydoaddition, or both [66]. Subsequent reports found SWCNTs to be of very low chemical reactivity with 102 [67, 68], Rather, SWCNTs were proposed to physically quench singlet oxygen (to convert 02 to 302) with rate constants on the order of 108 M 1 s 3. 

As predicted by molecular orbital theory dioxygen has two unpaired electrons and some of its chemistry shows diradical characteristics in particular, it reacts readily with other radicals. Singlet oxygen is an excited state in which the two electrons in the p anti-bonding orbitals have paired spins. It produced in some chemical reactions and has different chemical reactivity. 

It is apparent that more than one oxygen activation pathway exists. The excited triplet state of tin porphyrins is known to be quenched in the presence of 2, suggesting a possible direct mechanism of O2 activation by the photosensitizer. We have examined reactions of both singlet O2 and superoxide anion under our reaction conditions. Chemically-produced superoxide (K02/18-crown-6) is not reactive under our experimental conditions. On the other hand, singlet oxygen, produced by irradiation of free base protoporphyrin (H2ProtoP), is reactive in the presence of tertiary amines and gives about the same hexanol to hexanone ratio (2.7, see Table 1) as is observed in the presence of the SnP photosensitizer.
