Effect of some aminoanthraquinone derivatives as red fluorescers on chemiluminescence systems originating from bis-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate and lucigenin

Peroxyoxalates such as bis-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate (TCPO) can transfer energy to fluorescer molecules via formation of dioxetanedione intermediate. The aminoanthraquinone derivatives used in this study found to produce a red light in the chemiluminescence systems containing TCPO or lucigenin. Both the fluorescence and chemiluminescence spectra of each of aminoanthraquinone fluorescer system were obtained and the influence of anthraquinone derivatives on the λmax of fluorescer was investigated. The blue light of chemiluminescenct system containing lucigenin is of direct chemilumiescence type, while the red chemiluminescence produced in the presence of anthraquinones is indirect in nature.
