ELECTROCHEMICAL AND ELECTROCHEMILUMINESCENCE PROPERTIES OF NAPHTHALIMIDE DERIVATIVES

Electrochemical and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties of napht halimide derivatives were studied in three reaction series; the correl ation of a number of the parameters with the electronic structure of t he molecules was discussed. The mechanism of ECL emitter formation in the systems studied could be identified by comparing the electrochemic al, ECL, and spectroscopic characteristics as well as data obtained fo r the bimolecular rate constants of filling of different electronic st ates in the ECL reaction products. Possible uses of certain substitute d naphthalimides as detector substances in indirect ECL analysis were examined.
