Synthesis of 4-styrylphthalhydrazides and their chemiluminescence reaction. Emitters and chemiluminescence efficiency highly dependent on electronic nature of styryl goups
synthesized and their chemiluminescencereactions were investigated. The chemiluminescence quantum yields as well as the emitters were variable depending on the electronic nature of the terminal substituents attached on the styryl groups. It was revealed that the excited phtha-late ions were the emitters when they were highly fluorescent, while the energy transfer chemiluminescence from the excited phthalate
