INTRAMOLECULAR CIEEL MECHANISM OF CHEMILUMINESCENCE OF PHENOXIDE SUBSTITUTED 1,2-DIOXETANES

摘要

More than twenty years ago, Schaap et al discovered chemiluminescence from phenoxide substituted dioxetanes (PHOD) as a model for firefly bioluminescence. McCapra2had suggested a charge or an electron transfer is involved for such process, but confirmative evidences had not been presented at that time. Recently successive synthetic efforts on phenoxide.substituted dioxetanes produced a series of efficient chemiluminescent molecules.3
