Abstract: The oxygen radicals O2·-/OOH were observed in photochemical reaction of Chlorophyll a in the presence of oxygen.The ESR spectra of DMPO-OOH adduct were recorded directly byusing spin trap technique.The O2·-/OOH radicals were formed from oxygen dissolved inhe solutions studied, independent of the aggregation state of Chlorophyll a.

Key words: chlorophyll a, oxygen radical O2·-/OOH, dimethyl-Pyrroline-N-oxide
