The suggestion that the chemiluminescence results from triplet-triplet annihilation of rubrene in air-saturated solution is internally inconsistent. The triplet energy of rubrene must be more than half its singlet energy in order to form light by this path, and this quantity is greater than the triplet-singlet transition energy of oxygen : Y. Sawaki and Y. Ogato, J. Org. Chem., 42, 40 (1977).
