| Title | Chemilumineszenz von Photoprodukten polyzyklischer aromatischer Kohlenwasserstoffe und deren Carbonylverbindungen Chemiluminescence of Photoproducts of Polycyclic Aromatic H ydrocarbons and their Carbonyl Compounds  | ||
| Abstract | During photooxidation of polycyclic arom atic hydrocarbons (PA H) products can be form ed which develop chemiluminescence on treatm ent with bases. Flash photolysis experim ents show that this is the case only after previous form ation of cation radicals, e.g. in the presence of CC14 as solvent or of e-acceptors in aprotic solvents. These radicals react with oxygen to peroxy-radicals which can combine to several kinds of peroxides. Primary and secondary peroxides are the sources of chemilum inescent activity. C hemilum inescent peroxides can also be obtained by irradiation of PA H carbonyl com pounds in protic solvents under nitrogen. It is assumed that two excited CO groups combine exceptionally with their O -atom s thus creating a peroxide bond. 24 arom atic aldehydes, ketones, dicarboxylic acid anhydrides and coum arines develop chemiluminescence after illumination with w avelengths > 320 nm with intensities varying 4 magnitudes of order. The sensitivity of the photochem ilum inescent method is sufficient to detect amounts of PA H and their CO derivatives in the ppb to ppm range. | ||
