The Light Emitter of the 2-Coumar-anone Chemiluminescence: Theoretical and Experimental Elucidation of a Possible Model for Bioluminescent Systems
The bioluminescence reaction of many biological subspecies, most notably fireflies, forms dioxetanone derivatives as high-energy intermediates. The thermal instability of dioxetanones complicates understanding of the transition from the ground state to th
