Chemiluminescence of a 1,2-dioxetane derived from 9-methylene-10-dodecylacridan was not detected in aqueous solution but was detected in micellar and membranous systems. The quantum yield and the rate of the chemiluminescence decay in the membranous (2C1615G and 2C1630G) system were affected by the chain melting transition. The results indicate that the chemiluminescence is sensitively affected by the microenvironmental effect.
