Abstract
The phenomenon of the electrochemiluminescence on the polished platinu m cathode in the acid and basic aqueous solutions of the potassium per oxydisulfates was studied. It is determined that the electrochemilumin escence intensity increases with the oxygen saturation of the solution . It is proposed that the emitter of the light radiation is an oxygen in the (1) Delta(g) singlet state, that was verified by spectral inves tigations. A probable scheme of the singlet oxygen formation in the so lution, and results of the electrochemiluminescence spectral investiga tion are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
