Electrochemistry coupled to fluorescence spectroscopy: a new versatile approach

Abstract

The efficiency and versatility of a spectroelectrochemical cell was used in order to couple electrochemistry and fluorescence spectroscopy. This new tool was tested and validated through the study of the reduction steps of a soluble perylene derivative. Besides the establishment of the method, the efficiency of UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry and fluorescence spectroelectrochemistry were compared
