Abstract

We report the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity of tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)₃²⁺] as a function of varying solution viscosity in mixtures of N,N-dimethylformamide and glycerin. Diffusion coefficient (D), electron-transfer rate (k) of Ru(bpy)₃^2+/3+, and luminescence intensity are measured and correlated with viscosity and ECL intensity (I_ecl). I_ecl decreases with increasing solution viscosity and tracks diffusion and electron transfer until it reaches an upper limit. This limit is reached at D = 5 × 10^-7 cm²/s and k = 0.03 cm/s in this system. Normalizing I_ecl for diffusion reveals a weak enhancement of ECL with increasing viscosity.
