A study of peroxyoxalate-chemiluminescence of 4,4′-bis{[4,6-bis (2-hydroxyethyl)amino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino}stilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid-disodium salt as a novel blue fluorescer

The chemiluminescence arising from the reaction of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate (TCPO) with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of brightener 4,4′-bis{[4,6-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino}stilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid-disodium salt (Triazinyl) has been studied. The influence of concentration of TCPO, hydrogen peroxide, Triazinyl, base catalysts and temperature on the resulting chemiluminescence was investigated. The kinetic parameters for the peroxyoxalate-chemiluminescence (PO-CL) of Triazinyl were evaluated from computer fitting of the resulting intensity–time plots. The activation energies, Ea, were evaluated from temperature dependence of the corresponding rise and fall rate constants.
