Production of reactive oxygen species on photolysis of dilute aqueous quinone solutions
Open accessAbstract
We have examined the generation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) superoxide and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) by irradiation of dilute aqueous solutions of disodium anthraquinone‐2‐6‐disulfonate (AQDS) with simulated sunlight. Irradiating a solution of AQDS in 2 m M NaHCO 3 and 0.01 M NaCl produced superoxide and H 2 O 2 at nanomolar concentrations. Experiments in which initial concentrations of dioxygen, H 2 O 2 , the superoxide radical trap nitroblue tetrazolium and the electron donor dimethyl sulfoxide were varied suggested that the interaction of solvent water with photo‐excited quinone moieties produces dioxygen‐reducing radicals, and that these are the primary source of ROS in the system. A kinetic model for ROS production is proposed based on our experimental data.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
