ABSTRACT

There have been several reviews of organic ECL [1-6]. Although current research in organic ECL continues to unravel the fundamentals of these lightemitting processes, much of the modern interest lies in using ECL systems for such applications as developing light-emitting devices and allowing sensitive detection [7-10]. However, the development of these applications of organic ECL systems requires a thorough understanding of the variables that contribute to ECL emission. Toward this end, we provide a summary of the parameters necessary for organic ECL. In addition, we have tabulated important characteristics of the most common organic ECL systems.
