A molecule of luminol bound as guest inside a Co<sub>8</sub> coordination cage host undergoes oxidation by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> to generate chemiluminescence by a process in which the Co(II) ions in the cage superstructure activate the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>: accordingly the cage not only co-locates the reactants but also acts as a redox partner in the catalysis. The luminescence from oxidation of the cavity-bound luminol can transfer its excitation energy to surface-bound fluorescein ...[more]
