Abstract
SINGLET oxygen is receiving increasing attention as a reactive species in many chemical or biological reactions (see refs 1–3 for recent reviews). We report here a new method for detecting the formation of singlet oxygen by the generation of stable nitroxide radicals from sterically hindered amines.
