Some observations on the analytical usefulness of electrochemiluminescence for the determination of microgram amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons

Abstract

Measurement of the electrogenerated chemiluminescence of twenty-four aromatic compounds in dimethylformamide solution has been investigated as a potential analytical technique for their determination. The emission spectra, calibration results and limits of determination are presented. Experimental requirements and optimum conditions for the electrogeneration of the light-emitting species are described.
