Singlet oxygen

MO diagram, triplet ground state and two singlet excited states of molecular dioxygen. Shown are three electronic configurations of the molecular orbitals (MOs) of molecular oxygen, O2. From left to right, the diagrams are for: 1Δg singlet oxygen, 1Σ+g singlet oxygen, and 3Σ−g triplet oxygen. The lowest energy 1s molecular orbitals are uniformly filled in all three and are omitted for simplicity. The broad horizontal lines labelled π and π* each represent two molecular orbitals (for filling by up to 4 electrons in total). The three states only differ in the occupancy and spin states of electrons in the two degenerate π* antibonding orbitals.

Singlet oxygen is a high energy form of oxygen. A gas with the formula O₂, its physical properties differ only subtly from those of the more prevalent triplet form of O₂. In terms of its chemical reactivity, however, singlet oxygen is far more reactive toward organic compounds. It is responsible for the photodegradation of many materials but can be put to constructive use in preparative organic chemistry and photodynamic therapy. Trace amounts of singlet oxygen are found in the upper atmosphere and also in polluted urban atmospheres where it contributes to the formation of lung damaging nitrogen dioxide.
