The research in the field of the photodynamic therapy of cancer (PDT) is focused on a development of photosensitizers exhibiting high quantum yield of singlet oxygen production. Direct time-resolved spectroscopic observation of singlet oxygen phosphorescence can provide time constants of its population and depopulation as well as photosensitizer phosphorescence lifetime and relative quantum yields. In our contribution, a study of time and spectral resolved phosphorescence of singlet oxygen photosensitized by meso-tetraphenylporphine in acetone together with the photosensitizer phosphorescence is presented. Time constants of singlet oxygen population and depopulation were determined at wide range of photosensitizer concentrations. The time constant of singlet oxygen generation (0.28 +/- 0.01) mus is slightly shorter then the lifetime of photosensitizer's triplet state (0.32 +/- 0.01) mus. It is caused by lower ability of TPP aggregates to transfer excitation energy to oxygen. The lifetime of singlet oxygen (approximate to50 mus) decreases with increasing photosensitizer concentration. Therefore, the photosensitizer acts also as a quencher of oxygen singlet state, similarly to the effects observed in [A. A. Krasnovsky, P. Cheng, R. E. Blankenship, T. A. Moore, and D. Gust (1993). Photochem. Photobiol. 57, 324-330; H. Kupper, R. Dedic, A. Svoboda, J. Hala, and P. M. H. Kroneck (2002). Biochim. Biophys. Acta Gen. Subj. 1572, 107-113]. Moreover, the increasing concentration of the photosensitizer causes a slight hypsochromic shift of the singlet oxygen luminescence maximum.
