INHIBITIVE PROPERTIES OF OXIMES. II. THE QUENCHING OF THE FLUORESCENCE OF LUMINOL BY OXIMES

Abstract

In connection with the inhibitive properties of oximes with respect to the luminol reaction in the presence of organophosphoric poisons, measurements are made of the quenching of luminol fluorescence under the influence of various oximes. Numerical values are established for the half-value of such quenching and for quenching constants according to a hyperbolic equation. These values are corrected with regard to secondary effects such as the filter effect on the primary light and the influence of the anion (iodine ion) of certain oximes on luminol. By special experiments it is established that oximes quench the fluorescence of luminol by a dynamic quenching mechanism.
