Abstract: | Basic methanolic solutions of 2,2′-dimethyl-3,3′,4,4′-tetrahydro-1,1′-biisoquinolinium iodide (1) chemiluminesce brightly when exposed to oxygen. The first reaction is between base and dication to form a mixture of olefins. These electron-rich olefins are formed by proton removal from, or RO- addition to, the dication and subsequent redox equilibria. The olefins react with ground state O2 by another redox reaction involving ROH as catalyst. Several oxygenated products are formed and several emission peaks appear. One correlation between a product and an emission peak is possible. |
