ABSTRACT

Chemiluminescence (CL) is the emission of the electromagnetic (ultraviolet, visi­ ble, or near infrared) radiation by molecules or atoms resulting from a transition from an electronically excited state to a lower state (usually the ground state) in which the excited state is produced in a chemical reaction. The CL phenomenon is relatively uncommon because, in most chemical reactions, excited molecules

lose their excitation energy via nonradiactive pathways (e.g., heat). This type of luminescence provides interesting analytical applications thanks to its high sensitivity [1]. This entails considering its kinetic aspects in theoretical and ap­ plied terms.
