Chemiluminescence studies of reaction between luminol and T-butyl hydroperoxide in presence of some nsaids

The Chemiluminescence (CL) that accompanies the oxidation of luminol with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) in alkaline medium was studied. The reaction occurring between luminol and t-BuOOH in alkaline medium leads to the production of nitrogen gas with simultaneous emission of CL. The effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like aspirin and ibuprofen has also been studied. The time dependence of the CL intensity of luminol and t-BuOOH at different temperature and the CL emission spectra of the reactions have been recorded for better understanding of the reaction.
