Article Abstract

Water decreases the brightness of the peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence partially due to the hydrolysis of the oxalate reagent. Here, we show that encapsulation of an oxalate ester and the fluorescent activator in microspheres of cellulose esters increases the emission intensity 30 times compared to the same reaction in water without encapsulation, whereas the emission intensity decay rate constants are considerably lower. Emission intensities, rate constants and chemiluminescence quantum yields increase with increasing hydrogen peroxide concentrations. These results expand the potential of application of chemiluminescence, contributing for the development of ultrasensitive analytical methods.

Sensitivity and selectivity of aromatic oxalates towards HO are proposed as key criteria for selecting substrates for chemiexcited photodynamic therapy (PDT). An increase in the electronegativity of the oxalate reduces both sensitivity and selectivity. The presence of an -substituent increases the efficiency of aromatic oxalate.

In this study, we developed a novel theranostic nanomedicine formulation that integrates multimodal imaging with controlled drug release in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-rich microenvironments. A fluorinated oxalate compound (FOC) was synthesized through a one-step condensation reaction between 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol and oxalyl chloride, characterized by H, C, and ⁹F NMR spectroscopy. The FOC and luminophore-incorporated nanomedicine formulations reacted rapidly with hydrogen peroxide via the peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence (POCL) mechanism, producing strong chemiluminescence and inducing a notable 19-fold increase in ratiometric ⁹F NMR signal upon conversion to fluorinated alcohol (FAH), demonstrating promising potential for high-contrast ⁹F MRI in deep tissue.

Light-emitting plants (LEPs) represent a promising technology for harnessing nature's processes for sustainable illumination. However, ensuring the long-term stability and efficiency of the emission without compromising plant health is critical. To address these issues, the experiment explored the creation of a chemiluminescent reaction using ethyl vanillin, a food flavoring compound, as an alternative to commercial chemiluminescent products, which are carcinogenic.

Wood materials incorporating new properties are of great interest, especially for advanced applications such as sustainable optics and photonics. In this work we describe a wood functionalization approach, comprising the incorporation of artificial chemiluminescent systems (phenyl oxalate ester‑hydrogen peroxide-fluorophore, and luminol-ferricyanide), resulting in light-emitting wood. By a detailed characterisation of the light emission features we point out the complex interaction between wood scaffold and chemiluminescent systems, especially the quenching effect of wood extractives (for the TCPO-HO-fluorophore system) and lignin (for the luminol-ferricyanide system).
