title: Enhancement effect of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and cationic surfactant on the chemiluminescence of poly(3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoate ester)dendrimers.
abstract: In the presence of l-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC), the chemiluminescence (CL) intensities of poly(3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoateester)dendrimers, 1 and 2, having 1,2-pyrocatechol and 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene as core molecules and also six and nine gallic acid units in the periphery, were respectively 7.4- and 2.4-fold stronger than those of 1 and 2 in the absence of EDC. Similarly, the CL intensities of 1 and 2 in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were respectively 4- and 1.7-fold stronger than those of 1 and 2 in the absence of CTAB.
