During the development of useful probes for detecting superoxide anions via chemiluminescence with longer wavelengths than that of green, chemiluminescent probes that emit red light (lambda(max) 610 nm) when induced by superoxide anions were synthesized and characterized. These red-chemiluminescent probes consist of a 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a] pyrazin-3(7H)-one moiety, which reacts with superoxide anions to generate energy, and a sulphorhodamine 101 moiety, which accepts the energy and emits red light. Using a hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system for the generation of superoxide anions, it was shown that the superoxide anion-induced chemiluminescences of red-chemiluminescent probes (3 and 4) were more intense than those of the blue- and green-chemiluminescent probes 2-methyl-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a] pyrazin-3(7H)-one (MCLA) and 6-[4-[2-[N'-(5-fluoresceinyl)thioureido]-ethoxy]phenyl]-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one (FCLA), respectively, which are generally considered to be the most sensitive chemiluminescent probes.

Therefore, the anion-induced difference spectra were extensively measured under a variety of conditions and accurate oxygen equilibrium curves were determined under representative conditions with detection at different wavelengths selected from peaks, troughs, and zero difference points of the difference spectra in the visible and Soret regions. Oxygen equilibrium parameters including the four Adair constants (i.
