The chemiluminescent reaction between carbenes and O2 in Freon 113 at and above 77 K was investigated. The reaction was found to be general for phenylated carbenes and independent of precursor. Spectra obtained by optical multichannel analyzer (OMA) are consistent with the emission being from the excited ketone formed. Kinetics studies at 77 K indicate that the decay of the chemi‐luminescence is significantly faster than the decay of the carbene as monitored by fluorescence and electron paramagnetic resonance.
