Abstract
Fluorescent properties of the phenolate anion and the amide anion of coelenteramide analogues in ion pairs with various counter cations were systematically investigated to confirm that the singlet-excited state of coelenteramide phenolate anion in a contact ion pair is the real light emitter in the bioluminescence of aequorin and obelin.
