Abstract: The photochemical reaction of sulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine (A1SPC) was studied by ESR spectrometry. By using TMHP as a probe, the intermediates of A1SPC photochemical reaction were detected according to the ESR signal of nitroxyl free radical. It was shown that the formation ofthe nitroxyl free radical--the photooxide of TMHP depends on the presence of oxygen. The results,that the ESR signal is enhanced by deuterated water(D2O), inhibited completely by β-carotene and partially inhibited by cytochrome Cand superoxide dismutase(SOD), show that the singlet oxygen (1O2) is produced and is the main intermediate product.
