The electrochemical oxidation and reduction of perylene in a neutral aluminum chloride—1,2‐dimethyl‐3‐propyl‐1H‐imidazolium chloride (DMPIC) melt results in the formation of radical cations and anions of perylene at or near the electrode. An annihilation reaction between the radical ions of perylene, produced consecutively, results in electrochemiluminescence.
