Studies of the ECL of rubrene in thin layer cells containing two gold electrodes separated by 20–500 μm and viewed parallel to the electrode surface are reported. The agreement between calculated and experimental currents and intensities was good and operating lifetimes of 30 min to 4 hr were observed. Flow cells in which solution is recirculated through two mesh electrodes into a mixing chamber where electron transfer and emission occurs are also described. Higher light intensities were obtainable with the flow cells, which appear to be a more favorable configuration for application to ECL devices.
