Bioluminescence is a phenomenon that has fascinated mankind for centuries. Today the
phenomenon and its sibling, chemiluminescence, have impacted society with a number of …

This review is the first to collate and summarize main data on named and unnamed
rearrangement reactions of peroxides. It should be noted, that in the chemistry of peroxides …

Mechanophores capable of releasing N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC), a strong base, are
combined with triggerable chemiluminescent substrates to give a novel system for …

Over the last two decades fluorescent materials have strongly influenced the technological
development of modern societies. Ranging from organic photovoltaic to OLED TVs, from …

Coelenterazine is a widespread bioluminescent substrate for a diverse set of marine
species. Moreover, its imidazopyrazinone core is present in eight phyla of bioluminescent …

Various novel acridinium ester derivatives having phenyl and biphenyl moieties were
synthesized, and their optimal chemiluminescence conditions were investigated. Several …

The molecular mechanisms of the bioluminescence systems of the firefly, bacteria and those
utilizing imidazopyrazinone luciferins such as coelenterazine are gradually being uncovered …

The thermolysis of dioxetanones is a key process in the intramolecular chemiexcitation step
of several chemi-and bioluminescent reactions. This step is generally explained with …

A small library of N, N-diethyl-and-diethanolsulfonamides of differently substituted 2-(2-
pyridyl)-and 2-pyrazinyl-4-alkoxythiazoles has been synthesized and investigated in terms …

Dioxetanone is one of the prototypical cyclic peroxide intermediates in several
chemiluminescent and bioluminescent systems, in which thermolysis reactions allow …
