This review covers the approximately two-year period since our last review (Al), roughly from January 2002 through December 2003. A computer search of Chemical Abstracts provided most of the references for this review. Coverage is limited to articles that describe new developments in the theory and practice of molecular luminescence for chemical analysis in the ultraviolet-visible and near-infrared region. Citations may be duplicated between sections due to articles with contents that span several topics. However, in an effort to reduce the length of this review, we attempted to limit this kind of duplication. In general, citations are limited to journal articles and usually do not include patents, proceedings, reports, and dissertations. We tried to focus on important advances of general interest and relevance to the field of analytical chemistry rather than extensions of previous advances. This was done in an effort to continue our recent efforts to significantly reduce the length of this biannual review. In addition, we also expanded our description of individual citations for better clarification of content where necessary. Although we are not able to provide extensive coverage of developments of relevance to broad areas such as chromatography and biological sciences, we tried to include major review articles and chapters relevant to these topics. If you feel that we omitted an important article published during the above referenced time period, please forward the reference to one of us and we will be certain to consider it for the next review.
