2 EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS Synthesis Synthesis of methyl pyropheophorbide a (1) Chl a was extracted from Spirulina geitleri with a mixture of methanol and petroleum ether (2/1, vol/vol). Then, 2% HCl was added to the extract solution, and an organic phase was neutralized with aqueous 4% NaHCO 3. The organic phase was washed with distilled water and dried over anhydrous Na 2 SO 4. After evaporation, the residue was dissolved in methanol, followed by addition of a small amount of H 2 SO 4. The solution was stirred overnight under nitrogen in the dark. Then, the reaction mixture was poured into distilled water, and extracted with CH 2 Cl 2. The CH 2 Cl 2 solution was neutralized with saturated NaHCO 3 aq., washed with distilled water, and dried over anhydrous Na 2 SO 4. After evaporation, the residue was dissolved in g-collidine and refluxed for 3.5 h under nitrogen in the dark. After removal of g-collidine under the reduced pressure, the residue was purified by silica-gel flash column chromatography (FCC) and recrystallization to give methyl pyropheophorbide a (1). 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 ): d, ppm 9.40, 9.30, 8.55 (each 1H, s, 5-H, 10-H, 20-H), 7.95 (1H, dd, J=12, 18 Hz, 3-CH), 6.26 (1H, dd, J=1, 18 Hz, 3 1 -CH-trans to 3-CH), 6.15 (1H, dd, J=1, 12 Hz, 3 1 -CH-cis to 3-CH), 5.26, 5.11 (each 1H, d, J=20 Hz, H 2 ), 4.48 (1H, dq, J=2, 8 Hz, 18-H), (1H, m, 17-H), 3.63, , 3.18 (each 3H, s, 2-CH 3, 7-CH 3, 12-CH 3, COOCH 3 ), (2H, m, 8-CH 2 ), , , (1H + 1H + 2H, m, 17- CH 2 CH 2 ), 1.82 (3H, d, J=7 Hz, 18-CH 3 ), 1.66 (3H, t, J=8 Hz, 8 1 -CH 3 ), 0.42, (each 1H, s, NH). 13 C NMR (CDCl 3 ): d, ppm , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 97.08, 92.98, 51.67, 51.63, 49.94, 48.00, 30.91, 29.82, 23.11, 19.38, 17.39, 12.07, 12.00, MS (MALDI): m/z found 548.4, calcd. for C 34 H 36 N 4 O 3 [M] +, UV-vis (CH 2 Cl 2 ): l max, nm 667 (relative intensity, 0.43), 610 (0.08), 539 (0.09), 508 (0.10), 413 (1.00).

Estimation of the conversion efficiencies The conversion efficiencies from 1/2 to 1 /2 by contact with TiO 2 particles in the presence of O 2 was estimated by fitting visible absorption spectra after incubation for 4 h with two Gaussian curves possessing the 667-nm and 677-nm peaks, which were parallel to the Q y absorption bands of 1/2 and 1 /2, respectively. The Q y molar extinction coefficients, e= and M -1 cm -1, for 1/2 [S1] and 1 /2 [S2] were used for estimation of their concentrations. The conversion efficiency from 3 to 3 was estimated in essentially the same manner as in the case of 1

4 and 2 on the hypothesis that the relative ratio of the Q y molecular extintion coefficients of 3 /3 was the same as those of 1 /1. REFERENCES S1. Smith KM, Goff DA, Simpson DJ. J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1985; 107: S2. Ma L, Dolphin D. J. Org. Chem., 1996; 61: 2501.
