Abstract

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) is not only an aesthetic phenomenon, but also of fundamental interest in analytical chemistry Several experiments are presented to introduce students to the capacity of ECL on the basis of tris(2, 2’-bipyridyl)ruthenium (II) (Ru(bpy)32+) with different coreactants.. First, we summarize some spectroscopic and electrochemical features of Ru(bpy)32+ that are important concerning ECL. Easily implemented experimental set-ups are presented, which show the correlation between ECL-intensity and cyclic voltammetry (CV) for different Ru(bpy)32+ / coreactant systems. The time-dependence of the ECL-decay is measured on a millisecond time-scale with a conventional data acquisition system. Finally, we present an ECL detector that can be used in HPLC as an alternative to adsorption and fluorescence detection.
