Abstract
Addition of photo- or radiooxygenated amines or N,N-dialkylamides to aqueou s lucigenin results in efficient chemiluminescence. Chemiluminescence quant um yields for amines are two orders of magnitude higher than those of dialk ylamides for the same illumination or irradiation time and can become as hi gh as 4 x 10(-3) einstein/mol. The mechanisms of the photo- or radiooxygena tion and chemiluminescence are discussed. The combined photolysis or radiol ysis-chemiluminescence reactions constitute light storage systems and prosp ective radiation dosemeters. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights rese rved.
