The aim of the project is the developing of biologically relevant bichromophores complexes with, from one side, the ability of enhanced singlet oxygen formation and, from other side, the ability of tight control of singlet oxygen concentration by depletion (e.g. consumption of singlet oxygen during endoperoxides formation) in organic solvents and in water/micelles solutions.

• Carrying out electronic absorption, fluorescence, phosphorescence and stationary IR or Raman experiments.

• Samples preparation.
• Scientific initiative and contribution through regular reporting, participation in international conferences.
