F. Bolletta et al., OSCILLATING PHOTOLUMINESCENCE IN THE CERIUM ION CATALYZED BELOUSOV-ZHABOTINSKY REACTION, Chemical physics letters, 237(3-4), 1995, pp. 346-348
Oscillating photoluminescence in the Ce(III)/Ce(IV) catalyzed Belousov
-Zhabotinsky reaction is described. No quantitative data can be obtain
ed from luminescence intensity measurements, due to quenching and inne
r filter effects. From lifetime measurements, it is possible to evalua
te the quenching effect, which is attributed to bromate ions that oxid
ize the excited Ce(III) species. Some consequences are discussed.
