論文内容の要旨
Chemiluminescence (CL) is a process of transforming chemical energy into light
emission. It has been an attractive topic of intensive research over 100 years. Now it has
developed to an important and powerful tool in biological and medical investigations.
CL analysis is a powerful analytical technique. It has a cheap and simple optical
detection system with low background noise, low detection limit, and wide working
range. It has been proven effective in rapid and sensitive measurements at ultra-trace
levels.
Quantum dots (QDs, or colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs)), have become
the focus of research attention due to the unique size-dependent optical and electronic
properties,and have been widely used in recent years. Compared to fluorescent
semiconductor nanocrystals, photoluminescent carbon nanodots (C-dots) are superior
in chemical stability, biocompatibility, and low toxicity.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)are chemically reactive molecules containing oxygen.
Examples include oxygen ions and peroxides. Recently, most research interests on ROS

are focused on its effects on life science,medicine and environment.
In the present work, the CL of ROS originated from peroxide reactions with and
without QDs and C-dots sensitizers and its analytical application were investigated.
The CL mechanism of ROS was also studied. The contents were summarized as follows:
Chapter 1 The concept, principles and the development of investigation and
application of CL, ROS, QDs sensitizers were introduced.
Chapter 2 Enhanced CL of peroxomonosulfate–cobalt (II) system in the presence of
dicarboxylic acids. In this work, the effects of molecular mass aliphatic dicarboxylic
acids on the HSO5^-Co2+ CL system were investigated. It was found that the aliphatic
dicarboxylic acids could enhance the CL of the HSO5^-Co2+ system. Moreover, the CL
intensities improved regularly with the increasing of the carbon chain length of the
dicarboxylic acids. The enhancement of the CL should be attributed to the formation of
peroxo-diacid, which finally decomposed to the original dicarboxylic acid and singlet
oxygen. The mechanism of the HSO5 ^ -Co2+-dicarboxylic acid CL system was then
proposed.
Chapter 3 CL from NaClO-H2O2 and enhanced by l-cysteine capped Mn-doped ZnS
quantum-dots. In this work, water-soluble L-cysteine capped Mn-Doped ZnS@Si
quantum-dots (Zn-dots), a kind of sensitizer, were synthesized. It was found that this
sensitizer could enhance CL signals emitted from interaction of NaClO with H2O2 in
basic medium. Experimental results demonstrated that the CL enhancement of
NaClO-H2O2system originated from energy transfer processes occurred between an
excited dimer singlet oxygen ((1O2)2*) and Zn-dots.
Chapter 4 Carbon nanodots sensitized CL on peroxomonosulfate-sulfite-hydrochloric
acid system and its analytical application. In this work, new water-soluble fluorescent
carbon nanodots (C-dots) were prepared in a facile microwave pyrolysis approach in
minutes by combining glycine and polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG 200). It was
discovered that the prepared C-dots could dramatically enhance the CL intensity of
potassium peroxymonosulfate- sodium sulfite-hydrochloric acid (PSHA) reactions.
Experimental results indicated that the C-dots sensitized enhancements originated
from their energy transfer and electron-transfer annihilation effects on the CL system.
The C-dots sensitized CL system was successfully applied to the determination of
aliphatic primary amines in real water samples with satisfactory results.
