摘要：

Melatonin, a hormone that controls the circadian rhythm, has a strongly fluorescent singlet state. While it can sensitize the formation of singlet oxygen, the yield is limited by inefficient intersystem crossing, The triplet energy is ca 72 kcal/mol, sufficient to transfer efficiently to a variety of accepters, including biphenyl, which has been used as a tool for triplet characterization.
