Patent ID: 8388982

Claim:
A composition comprising: a first reactant: a second reactant; and a photo-induced damage mitigating agent admixture comprising a compound of formula: wherein R 1 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, —CH 3 , —(CH 2 ) n R 2 , —(CH 2 ) n R 2 R 3 , —SO 3 H, —NO 2 , —OR 2 , —COR 2 , —COOR 2 , —(CH 2 ) n OR 2 , —CH(OH)R 2 , —S(O) m R 2 , —SO 3 R 2 , —CONH m (R 2 ) 2-m , —SO 2 NH m (R 2 ) 2-m , NH m (R 2 ) 2-m , —CONHSO 3 H, —(CH 2 ) n R 5 , —CH(OR 2 )R 3 , —(CH 2 ) n R 2 R 5 , —R 5 , —OR 5 , —COR 5 , —COOR 5 , —(CH 2 ) n OR 5 , where m is an integer and where n is an integer from 1 to 4; R 2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, —CH 3 , hydroxyl, —SO 3 H, —NO 2 , —OR 3 , —COR 3 , —COOR 3 , —CH(OR 3 )R 4 , —CH(OH)R 3 , —SO 3 R 3 , —R 5 , —OR 3 R 5 , —COR 5 , —COR 3 R 5 , —COR 3 R 4 R 5 , —CH(OH)R 5 , —S(O) m R 3 , —SO 3 R 3 , —CONH m (R 3 ) 2-m , NH m (R 3 ) —CONHSO 3 H, —SO 2 NH m (R 3 ) 2-m , where m is an integer; R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, —CH 3 , —SO 2 H, NO 2 , and —COOH; R 5 is a linker, and Z is a bridging group; and further wherein interaction of the first reactant with the second reactant under excitation illumination causes photo-induced damage to the first reactant in the absence of the photo-induced damage mitigating agent admixture.
