In previous work, it has been shown that the Ce-ion catalyzed Belousov
-Zhabotinsky reaction exhibits oscillatory photoluminescence. Unfortun
ately, Ce(III) photoluminescence measurements were performed at a seco
nd-order peak. In this Letter, the complete 3-dimensional fluorescence
spectrum of Ce(III) is shown including the correct (oscillatory) firs
t-order peak with an intensity 100-700 times higher than the second-or
der peaks. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
