High chemiluminescence activity of an FeIII–TAML activator in aqueous–organic media and its use in the determination of organic peroxides

Abstract

High activity of Fe^III–TAML, peroxidase mimic, upon the catalytic oxidation of luminol in aqueous–organic media (ethanol, isopropanol and acetonitrile) was determined. Using Fe^III–TAML the sensitive chemiluminescence assays for the determination of benzoyl peroxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of organic solvents were performed.
