Abstract: | The electrochemical and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties of Cu[dmp]2+ (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) have been investigated. ECL has been observed for Cu(dmp)2+ in aqueous, nonaqueous, and mixed solvent solutions using tri-n-propylamine as an oxidative-reductive coreactant. The ECL intensity peaks at potential corresponding to oxidation of both the coreactant and Cu(dmp)2+. The peak potential corresponding to maximum ECL emission is approximately 500 mV more anodic than corresponding oxidative peak potentials, indicating that the ECL emission may be due to the formation of either the *Cu(dmp)2+ metal-to-ligand charge-transfer excited state or an excited-state product of Cu(dmp)2+ oxidation. ECL efficiencies (phiecl = photons generated per redox event) are solvent-dependent (phiecl (CH3CN) > phiecl (50:50 (v/v) CH3CN:H20) > phiecl (H2O)) and correspond fairly well with photoluminescence efficiencies. Increased ECL efficiencies (> or = 50-fold) are observed in the presence of the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100. |
