Abstract

The resonant energy transfer from luminol / H₂O₂ to various luminophores is described in detail. The emission of light is triggered by the electrogenerated chemiluminescence of luminol. Luminophores can absorb the light and fluoresce. By using a mixture of different dyes, a wide range of emissions can be produced. The luminophore [Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺ / tripropylamine can react in two ways: Either it can fluoresce by resonance energy transfer from the luminol, or it can emit by ECL itself.

Keywords
