title: Organic analysis by luminescence methods.
abstract: This review presents the major features of luminescence methods relating to the estimation of organic compounds in solution. A notation for reporting fluorimetric determinations is proposed. The outstanding factors affecting the fluorescence of solutions are briefly reviewed, and determinations of compounds offering a native fluorescence are illustrated by selected examples. Special attention is paid to functional fluorimetry and to the determination of non-fluorescent compounds by means of chemical reactions giving rise to fluorescent species. Some enzymatic reactions are described, as far as they allow the estimation of definite chemicals. Phosphorimetry and chemiluminescence are exemplified. An appendix presents some new functional fluorimetric determinations developed by the authors.
