Enhanced chemiluminescence of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate-hydrogen peroxide-dyestuff system in the presence of polymer particles

Chemiluminescence property of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate-hydrogen p eroxide-dyestuff system was examined in the presence of polymer particles. The chemiluminescence of the system was enhanced through an interaction bet ween xanthene dyestuffs and polymer particles. For example, when using eryt hrosine B, the chemiluminescence intensity in the presence of the particles was about 20 times larger than that in the absence of them. It was clarifi ed from preliminary experiments that the enhanced chemiluminescence with th e particles was useful for the determination of H2O2 and dyestuff-labeled D -glucose.
