Luminol Chemiluminescence
C8H7N3O2 + H2O2 → 3-aminophthalate + N2 + hν (blue light)
Genel Bakış
Luminol reacts with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst (typically iron from hemoglobin in blood) to produce 3-aminophthalate in an excited electronic state. As the molecule relaxes, it emits blue light (425 nm). The iron in blood catalyzes this reaction, making it a powerful forensic tool.
