The first successful investigation into a cyclodextrin-based enzyme model as an efficient catalyst for luminol chemiluminescent reaction

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Apr 7:(7):730-1. doi: 10.1039/b111018g.

Abstract

The chemiluminescence of the luminol-H2O2 system is found for the first time to be remarkably enhanced by the Ce(IV) complexes of cyclodextrin dimers.
