Dioxetanone chemiluminescence by the chemically initiated electron exchange pathway. Efficient generation of excited singlet states
TLDR
In this paper, the chemiluminescence of dimethyldioxetanone (1) in the presence of easily oxidized aromatic hydrocarbons was studied and the efficiency of light production was correlated with the one electron oxidation potential of the hydrocarbon.Abstract:
: The chemiluminescence of dimethyldioxetanone (1) in the presence of easily oxidized aromatic hydrocarbons was studied. It was observed that the rate of reaction of (1) depends upon the nature and concentration of the aromatic hydrocarbon. The efficiency of light production was correlated with the one electron oxidation potential of the hydrocarbon. These results are interpreted in terms of the recently described chemically initiated electron exchange luminescence. (Author)read more

Biological diversity, chemical mechanisms, and the evolutionary origins of bioluminescent systems
TL;DR: It is estimated that bioluminescence may have arisen independently as many as 30 times in the course of evolution, and there are several examples of cross-phyletic similarities among the substrates.

TL;DR: A molecular-orbital perspective is adopted to explain the chemistry behind chemiexcitation in both chemi- and bioluminescence and should be an inspiration to human design of new molecular systems expressing unique light-emitting properties.

The Chemistry of Excited Complexes: a Survey of Reactions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the chemistry of excited complexes and the maximum rate for the process is determined by the rate constant for diffusion control in the solvent employed, which is a function of the number of collisions that must occur within the lifetime of the excited state.

Mechanistic insights in charge-transfer-induced luminescence of 1,2-dioxetanones with a substituent of low oxidation potential.
TL;DR: The decomposition pathway of dioxetanones 1c with a phenoxide anion group is investigated by the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) method together with the second-order multireference Møller-Plesset perturbation (MRMP) theory and charge-transfer-induced luminescence (CTIL) with polarization-induced branching excitation processes is proposed.
