Schenck-sensitization mechanism

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S05497
Chemical @T06446@ of one molecular entity caused by @P04613@ of a @S05610@, which undergoes temporary covalent bond formation with the molecular entity (M).

Notes:
  1. This mechanism is the basis of the Type I @P04641@.
  2. The reactive molecular entity could be ground-state molecular dioxygen, O2, in which case energy transfer may occur producing singlet molecular oxygen, this being the basis of the Type II @P04641@.
