Investigations into the analytical applications and fundamental chemistry of the chemiluminescent reactions of Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(III) with certain Papaver Somniferum alkaloids and other related compounds

This investigation undertook a chemiluminometric study of the reactions of Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(III) with selected papaver somniferum alkaloids and specifically synthesised phenethylamines. To monitor these reactions a batch chemiluminometer was specifically designed, fabricated and automated.
