Abstract

The techniques of laser-induced matrix isolation fluorescence spectrometry and their application to identification and quantification of individual organic compounds (especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in complex mixtures are described. Applications of Shpol'skii matrices, site-selection techniques, and time-resolved measurement of fluorescence to the matrix-isolation fluorometric characterization of complex mixtures are discussed. The need to use laser excitation of fluorescence to exploit fully the analytical selectivity offered by use of cryogenic specimen matrices is stressed.


Keywords:
fluorescence, laser spectroscopy, matrix isolation, Shpol'skii effect, molecular luminescence
