Abstract

The effect of chemical structure on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and the molecular properties associated with this phenomenon have been explored. Polarographic oxidation and reduction potentials and the fluorescence emission spectra in aprotic media of donor- substituted polycyclic aromatic molecules were measured.'he stabilities of ion radicals generated from these compounds were determined by means of cyclic voltammetry. The ...
