The red chlorophyll catabolite (RCC) is an inefficient sensitizer of singlet oxygen – photochemical studies of the methyl ester of RCC

Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2020, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D0PP00071J, PaperSteffen Jockusch, Bernhard Kr äutler Red chlorophyll catabolite, generated as an intermediate during chlorophyll breakdown in higher plants, is considered a phototoxic ‘pro-death molecule’. However, its singlet oxygen and fluorescence quantum yields are remarkably low. To cite this article before page numbers are assigned, use the DOI form of citation above.
