A Study of Chemiluminescence from Reaction of Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate, Hydrogen Peroxide and Diethyl-2- (cyclohexylamino)-5-[(E)-2-phenyl-1-ethenyl]-3,4-furandicarboxylate as a Novel Fluorescer

The chemiluminescence (CL) arising from reaction of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate (TCPO) with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a diethyl-2-(cyclohexylamino)-5-[(E)-2-phenyl-1-ethenyl]-3,4-furandicarboxylate as a novel fluorescer (Flu) has been studied. The relationship between the chemiluminescence intensity and concentrations of TCPO, sodium salicylate, hydrogen peroxide and fluorescer is reported. The chemiluminescence parameters including intensity at maximum CL, time at maximum intensity, total light yield, theoretical maximum level of intensity and pseudo-first-order rate constants for the rise and fall of the CL burst (kr and kf) were evaluated from computer fitting of the resulting intensity-time plots. The activation parameters Ea, ΔH‡, ΔS‡ and ΔG‡ for the rise and fall steps were evaluated from the temperature dependence of kr and kf values
