By simultaneous generation of the luminol radical and the superoxide radical anion 02 ‘· in an alkaline aqueous solution containing H202 but no oxygen, it was possible to measure at different pH values the rate constant for the formation of the peroxide adduct. The rate constant for the decomposition of the adduct was also determined. The latter reaction is shown to be a rate-determing kinetic step in the production of the excited state. Its rate constant is strongly pH dependent. At pH 7.7, where essentially no light is produced, its value is (2±0.5) X 103 s" 1, while at pH 11.0 the value (1.8±0.3) X105 s_1 is obtained. It is suggested that the acid (hydroperoxide) and the base (peroxide) react along different chemical pathways yielding different end products. Only the decomposition of the base results in light generation. An overall reaction scheme is proposed. In an indirect measurementthe chemiluminescence quantum yield is determined to be^ 0.1.
