Conclusions
-
1.
Chemiluminescence in the oxidation of luminol by hypochlorite in the presence of H2O2 does not involve free-radical reactions.
-
2.
Chemiluminescence luminol activation proceeds through interaction of the luminol with singlet excited oxygen arising from H2O2 oxidation by the hypochlorite.
