Claim:
1. A chemiluminescent system comprising: an oxalate component comprising an oxalate ester and an organic solvent, the oxalate ester being present in an amount of about 3 to 26 wt. %, and the organic solvent being present in an amount of about 74 to 97 wt. % based on the total weight of the oxalate component; an activator component comprising a peroxide, a catalyst, and water, the peroxide being present in an amount of about 0.5 to 5 wt. %, the catalyst being present in an amount of about 0.001 to about 0.05 wt. %, and the water being present in an amount of about 95 to 99.5 wt. % based on the total weight of the activator component; a surfactant present in an amount of about 0.1 to 5 wt. % based on the weight of the system; and a fluorescer present in an amount of about 0.05 to 0.5 wt. % based on the weight of the system; wherein the ratio of the oxalate component to the activator component is in the range of about 5:1 to about 1:5, on a weight basis; and wherein the wherein the oxalate ester comprises a straight chain oxalate ester selected from the group consisting of bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxy-phenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbobutoxyphenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carboisopentyloxyphenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4,5-tribromo-6-carbohexoxyphenyl)oxalate, bis(2-nitrophenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)oxalate, bis(2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate, bis(3-trifluoro-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)oxalate, bis(2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenyloxalate), bis(1,2-dimethyl-4,6-dinitrophenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4-dichlorophenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)oxalate, bis(2,5-dinitro phenyl)oxalate, bis(2-formyl-4-nitrophenyl)oxalate, bis(pentachloro-phenyl)oxalate, bis(1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1-pyridyl)glyoxal, bis(2,4-dinitro-6-methyl-phenyl)oxalate and bis-N-phthalimidyl oxalate.
