The main role of photosensitizer is to incorporating ultraviolet or visible region of electromagnetic radiation and transferring it to adjacent molecules.
Explanation:
- In a photochemical reaction, it also involved in the activation of the reactant to take part in reaction.
- The reactions in which reactants do not absorb the incident radiation mainly ultraviolet and visible light.
- In such situation, substances are added in a reaction which is capable of absorbing the light.
- These substances which absorb the light in a photochemical reaction but do not take part in the reaction are called photosensitizer.
- These reactions are known as the photosensitive reactions.
- When the hydrogen molecule is exposed to the ultraviolet light it does not react with, so mercury is used which absorbs the radiation and then transfers it to the hydrogen.
