F. Bolletta et al., OSCILLATING LUMINESCENCE IN THE BELOUSOV-ZHABOTINSKY REACTION CATALYZED BY RU(BPY)(3)(2+), Inorganica Chimica Acta, 233(1-2), 1995, pp. 21-23
Oscillations in the Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) catalyzed Belousov-Zhabotinsky reac
tion were followed by monitoring the absorbance, photo-and chemilumine
scence intensity, lifetime of the luminescent excited state, and bromi
de concentration. The formation of a species (most probably Br-2) whic
h quenches the Ru(bpy)(3)(2)+ luminescence is followed.
