Chemiluminescence in Analytical Chemistry / Edition 1

by Ana M. Garcia-Campana

Overview

This volume details the theories, mechanisms, technologies and trends for solving qualitative and quantitative problems in diverse areas of analytical research - emphasizing physicochemical principles. It focuses on deriving simpler and more extensive chemiluminescence (CL) detectors reflecting miniaturization trends, including narrow-bone and capillary liquid chromatography versus high-performance liquid chromatography and miniaturized high-performance thin-layer chromatography. It also covers the sensitivity, selectivity, wide detection range and versatility of CL-based methodologies.

Editorial Reviews

...should be very understandable to graduate students and those practicing analytical chemistry....an excellent compilation of the well-established areas of CL...an educational update of some CL chemistry and applications.

Journal of the American Chemical Society

Details current theories, mechanisms, technologies, and trends for solving qualitative and quantitative problems in diverse areas of analytical research, with emphasis on physiochemical principles. Overviews the history of luminescence phenomena and more specifically that of chemiluminescence (CL) and bioluminescence (BL), then examines the physiochemical nature of these reactions, basic principles, the evolution in instrumentation, and general applications in organic and inorganic analysis. Specific topics of discussion include analytical CL approaches related to the intrinsic kinetic nature of CL emission, the possibilities offered by photosensitized CL used in medical and industrial routine analysis, and the use of CL detection in the gas phase in atmospheric research.
