The reactivity and characterisation of solubilised manganese(IV) as a chemiluminescence reagent were systematically investigated. The analytical utility of this reagent was established for the determination of various alkaloids, pharmaceuticals and compounds of forensic interest. The methodology was then successfully applied to industrial process monitoring, clinical and illicit drug samples
