Analytical figures of merit for the room-temperature luminescence of four model compounds with quite different chemical structures were compared. The compounds were adsorbed on four different surfaces that have been employed recently in solid-surface luminescence analysis. The solid materials investigated were silica gel with a polyacrylate binder, filter paper, 1% polyacrylic acid-NaBr, and 80% [alpha]-cyclodextrin-NaCl. The experimental conditions were optimized to give enhanced luminescence signals. In some cases, filter paper and 80% [alpha]-cyclodextrin-NaCl gave comparable analytical results. However, filter paper gave the best overall results.
