    Abstract:
    The development of novel coreactants for chemiluminescence is very important to improve performance and widen its applications without using any other catalyst. N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), a highly popular amine-reactive, activating, or protecting reagent in biochemical applications and organic synthesis, has been explored as an efficient and stable chemiluminescence coreactant for the first time. The chemiluminescence intensity of the newly developed luminol-NHS system is about 22 times higher than that of the traditional luminol-H2O2 system. Chemiluminescence of this system is dramatically enhanced by Co2+. This new chemiluminescence system is then applied for the highly selective and ultrasensitive detection of Co2+ with limit of detection (0.01 nM) better than those of several conventional analytical methods. This system also enables the efficient detection of luminol (LOD = 7 pM) and NHS (LOD = 3.0 μM) with excellent sensitivity. This chemiluminescence method was then also utilized to detect Co2+ in tap water and blue silica gel with excellent recoveries in the range 99.20-103.07 %. This novel chemiluminescence system has several advantages, including simple, cost-effective, highly sensitive, selective, and wide linear range. We expect that this chemiluminescence system will be a promising candidate for chemical and biological sensing.
