Abstract— A methodology for the determination of chemiluminescence quenching terms is given. By using the oxidation of tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene as an example, it is shown how the nature and magnitude of the quenching terms help to elucidate the reaction mechanism, or how ignoring them can lead to false impressions. It is shown that chemiluminescence quenching effects need not be the same as those for photoluminescence of the same electronically excited species.
