Chemiluminescence is a fascinating and mesmerizing phenomenon,
which consists on the generation of light as the result of a
chemical reaction. This process has been gaining attention in the
last decades, being now a standard tool in analytical, bioimaging,
biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. This book provides a
detailed overview of the basic mechanisms and principles of the
most relevant chemiluminescent systems, as well as describing the
most recent advances and applications. Written by experts, this is
a reference text suitable both for researchers focused on
chemiluminescence and for those wanting to start working on this
field. In Chapter One, the progress and evolution of the
chemiluminescent studies in imidazopyrazinone-based compounds are
reviewed, with emphasis on their potential as diagnosis tools.
Chapter Two addresses the spectral changes associated with firefly
bioluminescence by focusing on the tautomeric equilibria of the
light emitter. Chapter Three reviews, for the first time, the
liquid-phase chemiluminescence of fullerene and derivatives.
Chapter Four is devoted to studies of chemiluminescence with the
participation of lanthanide ions. Chapter Five summarizes the
mechanism behind the chemiluminescence of acridinium esters, while
discussing their current applications. Chapter Six explains the
potential of phenothiazine derivatives as enhancers in analytic
chemiluminescent assays. Chapter Seven collects the available
information of both well-known and lesser-known examples of squid
bioluminescence. Chapter Eight discusses the enhancement of
chemiluminescent emission by using metal-nanoparticles near a
luminescent molecule, which is known as metal-enhanced
chemiluminescence. In Chapter Nine it is explained how model
molecules can make the study of complex bioluminescence reaction
mechanisms accessible, as well as allowing for chemiluminescence on
macroscopic molecular crystals. Chapter Ten describes experimental
and computational approaches used for enhancing the thermostability
of firefly luciferase. Chapter Eleven demonstrates the usefulness
of theoretical studies for better understanding chemiluminescent
reactions. Chapter Twelve describes the fundamental theoretical
aspects of state-of-the-art multiconfigurational methods and shows
illustrative examples of their application to the study of
chemiluminescence. Finally, Chapter Thirteen discusses
chemiluminescent experiments that are simple, inexpensive and can
be performed by students.
