Abstract

Peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence (POCL) systems have received great attention due to their high quantum yield and the ability to emit a wide-range colors by the utilizing different fluorophores. In this research, Pyronin Y (PY) was first introduced as the fluorophore for a POCL system. Our results indicated that the reaction of (2, 4-dinitroophenyl) oxalate (DNPO) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) catalyzed by sodium salicylate (SS) could transfer energy to Pyronin Y via the formation of the dioxetanedione intermediate and emit orange-red light. The relationships between chemiluminescence (CL) intensity and the concentrations of DNPO, fluorophore, H2O2, and the catalyst were investigated. Moreover, the analytical utilization of the new CL system was evaluated by detecting a drug, cysteamine, in pharmaceuticals. A linear working range for cysteamine concentrations from 3 × 10 −8 to 7.5 × 10 −6 molL−1 (r > 0.9907, n = 5) and a detection limit of 7.8 × 10−9 molL−1 were obtained, respectively. The relative standard deviation for five repetitive determinations was less than 3.8 %, with estimated recoveries of 100.1 % and 103.4 %. This method shows high sensitivity for the assay of cysteamine.
