Precursors to the chemiluminescence of luminol, 6-aminophthalazine-1,4(2H,3H)-dione
Abstract
Chemiluminescence produced by the pulse radiolysis of luminol solutions occurs as the result of a bimolecular reaction of an intermediate, suggested to be a peroxy radical, which is the third product in a series of consecutive reactions beginning with the oxidation of luminol by OH radicals.
