Novel derivatization reagent, (2,4,5-trimethyl-3-thienyl)acetic acid, for electrogenerated tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(III) chemiluminescence detection
A novel derivatization reagent for Ru(bpy)(3)(3+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) chemiluminescence (CL) detection has been developed. The derivatization reagent has a thiophene ring for CL reaction and a carboxylic group for derivatization reaction. The derivatized alkylphenols with this reagent were determined by a HPLC-CL detection system.
