Chemiluminescence experiments

#glowingwater #luminol #glowsstick #cyalume
Painfully beautiful examples of glowing chemistry experiments.
Luminol was used in three experiments with increasing amount of peroxide. At the end, the reaction mixture was blown out of the bulb.
Cyalume light sticks were opened and used in a variety of experiments. The sticks include hydrogen peroxide, diphenyl oxalate, and a dye.
Yellow-green color light was obtained with a
1-chloro-9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene as a dye.
Red color was obtained by Rhodamine B.
Blue color was obtained by 9,10-diphenylanthracene.
Orange color was obtained by 5,12-bis(phenylethynyl) naphthacene.
Finally, a common glow-worm was filmed in nature. The yellow-green color of the glow-worm was caused by the oxidation of luciferin.
This is one experiment from a larger video collection available at:

I dedicated an entire year of chemiluminescence research with a team. We gained enough knowledge to win first place at an aerospace science competition. But this "thing" however baffles us. From what we know, this shouldn't happen. What is witnessed here is of utmost importance and a marvel of science. I am laughing and confused at the same time.
@chemicum , I'd like to ask how this reaction happened. I am confused.

[@travelnation3732]

initial- Luminol in ammonia water with potassium tricyanocuprate addition have been prepared.
observations- When hydrogen peroxide is poured the mixture starts to glow.
change- chemical
clues- Unexpected colour change occurred.

Thanks my friend

u saved my butt ty

The time where the chemicals in the flask made a huge explosion, I ended up laughing so hard for some reason

Sebby The Hooman Deerman all the mixture ended up in the ceiling and then on my camera

Lucifern huh? Now i see why the music sounded demonish XD

We finally managed to shoot the glow-worm in the nature.

Wow, looks just like a witch's cauldron or similar CGI effect! And a couple of cuties in the video, too -- bonus!

[@sandeshsharmasharma2560]

The sound was really scary

[@mukulgaba4690]

Stunningly Brilliant

[@marcnathanielr.agcaoili6781]

I wonder if someone someday could learn to make chemiluminescence commercially viable for more than just glow sticks.

[@chemicum]

LED technology is something close to chemiluminescence - at least it was the example to develop LEDs. But chemiluminescence uses - detecting blood, DNA sequencing, kids toys - yes, there could be more

[@MistressGlowWorm]

Splody @ 0:50. A little too imbalanced on the Equation there 😉. Remember slow and low with the glow.

[@chemicum]

Elizabeth Hillman yeah, it made a mess

[@beawarehelp6029]

Sir please tell very easy and safe experiment to demonstrate Chemiluminescence

[@chemicum]

be aware & help open some glowsticks

[@beawarehelp6029]

@@chemicum tq very much.... Is that safe

[@chemicum]

there is still diluted hydrogen peroxide in the ampoule, but quite low concentration

[@agatha8073]

Why does the glow from the light reaction stop after a couple of seconds???

[@chemicum]

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes quickly - this luminol reaction mixture in not very efficient

chemiluminescence? Cold light via a chemical reaction
