“…Recent reviews (1, 2) and monographs (3, 4) discuss the theories, techniques, and applications of this approach. The majority of work in this area, thus far, has focused on the optimization of experimental conditions necessary to evoke maximum luminescence intensities and the development of an understanding of the solid-surface interactions leading to the luminescence phenomena (1,(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). The present study considers the use of benzol/]quinoline (B[/]Q) to investigate new interactions of the molecule with silica gel containing a polymeric binder.…”
