Abstract

This type of chemiluminescence is, at present, the most efficient non-enzymatically catalysed one, [1, 2] reaching a quantum yield of 0.34 in the best case [3]. Specially formulated oxalate chemiluminescence has achieved broad practical application as an emergency light source and is commercially available (see p. 185).
