Seventeen organic solvents are screened as reaction media to conduct the molybdate-catalyzed disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide into singlet molecular oxygen, 1 O 2 ( 1 D g ). The solvents are investigated by resorting to the detection of the infra-red luminescence of 1 O 2 at 1270 nm. Preparat
