Controlled release of singlet oxygen using diphenylanthracene functionalized polymer nanoparticles

Functionalized polymer nanoparticles react and store molecular oxygen for several weeks in the form of endoperoxides. On-demand controlled release of singlet oxygen by the particles is achieved by thermolysis.
