“…Firstly, the SCL signal that originates from ˙OH with strong oxidative effects is generated via the cavitation effect of water. 11 Then, the ˙OH was trapped by the ethanol in solution to produce the reduced CH 3 C˙H(OH), 29 and the CH 3 C˙H(OH) reduces O 2 and Luc 2+ , 30 producing O 2 ˙ − and Luc˙ + , respectively. 31 Lastly, the reaction between O 2 ˙ − and Luc˙ + produced the unstable dioxetane-type intermediate Luc(OO), and this intermediate decomposes to produce an excited state of N -methyl-9-acridone (NMA*) for the SCL signal.…”
