The electrochemical oxidation of oxalate at a platinum electrode in acetonitrile solutions as studied by cyclic and ro-tating-ring disk voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry shows an irreversible two-electron oxidation at ca. 0.3 V vs. SCE to CO2 with no intermediates detectable by these techniques. The oxidation of oxalate in the presence of several fluo-rescers (such as rubrene, 9, 10-diphenylanthracene, and the bipyridyl chelates of ruthenium (II) and osmium (ll)) does not pro-duce light, butemission characteristicof the fluorescer occurs during the simultaneous oxidation of the additive and oxalate. Studies of the conditions for emission in the presence of thianthrene and naphthalene lead to a mechanism for the oxidation of oxalateand the excitation process based on oxidation of oxalate to C2O4-·, which undergoes rapid decomposition to CO2 and CO2-·. The CO2-· can transfer an electron to the additive molecule to produce a radical anion, which can then undergo an eel annihilation reaction with the electrogenerated radical cation.There has been much interest in the intense chemilumi-nescence which results from the reaction of oxalyl chloride or oxalate esters and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of fluo-rescent compounds in nonaqueous solvents. 1" 3 In theproposed mechanism for these processes, the reaction between the ox-alate ester and H2O2 producesthe dioxetanedione (1) as an
