Coreactant ECL reaction mechanism for [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and n-tripropylamine (TPrA). Oxidation of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and TPrA at the electrode surface followed by electron transfer from oxidized TPrA to [Ru(bpy)3]2+ forms an excited state [Ru(bpy)3]2+ that then undergoes phosphorescence to decay back to the ground state.
