Description

Chemiluminescence (CL) in a luminol-catalyst-hydrogen peroxide system is generally considered as follows. Luminol is oxidized with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst, such as metal ions in a basic solution, generating a 6-membered peroxide intermediate. The 6-membered peroxide intermediate produces the excited-state aminophthalate. When this excited state decays to the ground state, emission is produced. In this study, twenty eight kinds of Co(III) complexes were synthesized and the catalysis of Co(III) complexes in the CL reaction of luminol with hydrogen peroxide was examined. The Co(III) complexes were categorized into 5 groups on the basis of the structure of the complexes, and the catalysis was evaluated with a 2-pump flow injection analysis (FIA) device. The extremely large differences in the chemiluminescence intensities were observed depending on the ligands. Among the Co(III) complexes examined, [Co(NO2)(NH3)5]Cl2 and [Co(CO3)(NH3)4]Cl showed remarkable catalysis. Therefore, the development of a sensitive analysis of hydrogen peroxide with FIA was attempted. The detection limits (S/N = 3) and the linear ranges were estimated under the most suitable detection conditions. The detection limits were of 0.2 nM (2 fmol) and 5 nM (50 fmol) for [Co(NO2)(NH3)5]Cl2 and [Co(CO3)(NH3)4]Cl, respectively. The calibration curves were linear up to 10 μM for both of these Co(III) complexes. The influence of foreign ions was examined in order to apply to measurements of hydrogen peroxide in real samples. Hydrogen peroxide in river water was successfully determined using the present method.
