A definition of electrogenerated luminescence (ECL) is given. Chemiluminescent reactions of different kinds are cited, as well as various types of pathway to the formation of the emitting excited state. After a consideration of the energetic and kinetic requirements for ECL‐producing reactions, the experimental conditions are examined. The important concept of ECL efficiency is introduced, as well as the feasibility of elucidating the mechanisms of ECL reactions. Some interesting new ECL systems are mentioned, together with examples of analytical applications of such schemes.
