✦ Synopsis


The electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of rubrcne resulting from direct electron transfer from a zinc oxide semiconductor electrode to rubrenc radical cation to form the triplet state of rubrene is reported. ECL characteristic of rubrene fluorescence occurs following triplet-triplet annihdation.

Emksion is observed at electrode potentials insufficient to form the radical anion of rubrene, although the more intense radical ion annihilation ECL is observed when the ZnO is heId at more negative potentials.
