Chemiluminescence is reported from chemical species produced during electrolysis of aromatic hydrocarbons in deoxygenated nonaqueous solvents. Emission occurs in the solution near the cathode, and the emitting species is the excited singlet state of the hydrocarbon. Oxygen exerts a severe quenching effect on the chemiluminescence. Possible mechanisms are discussed.
化学发光是在含氧非水溶剂中电解芳烃时产生的化学物质报告的。发射发生在阴极附近的溶液中,发射物质是烃的激发单线态。氧气对化学发光有严重的猝灭作用。讨论了可能的机制。
