Classical co‐reactant systems [e.g. tri‐ n ‐propylamine/Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ] that generate electrochemiluminescence (ECL) are shown to exhibit an unexpected dependence on the relative diffusivities of the two co‐reactants. As evidenced in the window of the KISSA software, as well as in 3D plots of ECL intensities, decreasing the diffusivity of metal complexes species versus that of the amine co‐reactant leads to a great enhancement of the ECL intensity in the first ECL wave, as discussed by I. Svir, C. Amatore et al. on p. 811 .
