Abstract
Violanthrone is an anthraquinone vat dye, which is resistant to photochemical damage. Most
previous work has concentrated on its chemiluminescence properties. In this report, electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of violanthrone has been investigated in dimethyl sulfoxide with 0.1M of tetraethylammonium bromide as electrolyte. Violanthrone luminesces in the potential range between 0.0V and
