Abstract: | The chemiluminescence (CL) phenomena of lanthanide (Ln) ions and their coordinate complexes in peroxomonosulfate system and the energy transfer mechanism during the process were investigated in this work. A strong and sharp CL signal was yielded when the Eu(III) or Tb(III) solution was added to the peroxymonosulfate solution. The CL intensity was greatly enhanced by 2,6‐pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) ligand [maximum enhancement reached when Ln(III):DPA was 1:1] and hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride micelles. The degree of enhancement of DPA and micelles on Ln(III) CL was related to the fluorescence lifetimes of Ln(III) in different media. According to the ESR spin‐trapping experiments of 2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐4‐piperidone and the specific quenching experiments of 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and sodium azide, singlet oxygen was generated though the Ln(III) ion‐catalyzed decomposition of peroxymonosulfate. From the comparisons of the fluorescence and CL spectra, lanthanide ions were the luminescence emitter and the ligand DPA absorbed the energy from singlet oxygen and transferred it to Ln(III) ions in the coordinate complexes. Micelles can enhance the CL intensity by improving intermolecular energy transfer efficiencies, removing the quenching effect of water and prolonging the lifetime of singlet oxygen.
