{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: Advances in the use of acidic potassium permanganate as a chemiluminescence reagent: a review. {Author}: Adcock JL;Barnett NW;Barrow CJ;Francis PS; {Journal}: Anal Chim Acta {Volume}: 807 {Issue}: 0 {Year}: Jan 2014 7 {Factor}: 6.911 {DOI}: 10.1016/j.aca.2013.11.016 {Abstract}: We review the analytical applications of acidic potassium permanganate chemiluminescence published since our previous comprehensive review in mid-2007 to early 2013. This includes a critical evaluation of evidence for the emitting species, the influence of additives such as polyphosphates, formaldehyde, sulfite, thiosulfate, lanthanide complexes and nanoparticles, the development of a generalized reaction mechanism, and the use of this chemistry in pharmaceutical, clinical, forensic, food science, agricultural and environmental applications.
