CHEMILUMINESCENT MATERIALS
Abstract
Apparatus for measurement of chemiluminescent and fluorescent quantum yields was fully cali brated. A quantum yield of 6% was measured for an improved oxalyl chloride system, and 1% for several 3-aminophthalhydrazide systems. A route to a chemiluminescent polymer appears to have been found. Three new synthetic approaches are in progress; two of which involve routes to com-s which should eject N in an energy produc ing step. A new route designed to lead to a highly fluorescent 3-aminophthalhydrazide deriv ative is reported. Studies of the 3-aminophthal hydrazide reaction suggest that the first step involves a one electron oxidation to produce a radical intermediate which reacts with oxygen or a peroxy radical to give peroxidic chemilumines cent precursors or can lose another electron to produce a non-luminescent material.
