title: A firefly inspired one-pot chemiluminescence system using n-propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P).
abstract: A simple reaction procedure for chemiluminescence of firefly luciferin (D-luc) using n-propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P) is reported. A luminescent photon is produced as a result of one-pot reaction, only requiring mixing with the substrate carboxylic acid and T3P in the presence of a mild organic base.
