Preferred Label : Schenck-sensitization mechanism;
IUPAC definition : Chemical transformation of one molecular entity caused by photoexcitation of a sensitizer,
which undergoes u temporary /u u covalent /u bond formation with the molecular
entity (M).;
Scope note : the reactive molecular entity could be ground-state molecular dioxygen, o2
, in which case energy transfer may occur producing singlet molecular oxygen, this
being the basis of the type ii photooxygenation.; this mechanism is the basis of the type i photooxygenation.;
Origin ID : S05497;
