Title: Chemical Analysis of Complex Samples using Supersonic
Jet Spectroscopy
Coordinator(s): T.
Imasaka
Completion Date: 2001 - project completed
Objective:
The main objective of this document is to describe
a method for chemical analysis of complex samples using supersonic jet
spectroscopy. More than 300 organic molecules have already been measured
using this method, and a compilation of their 0-0 transitions has been
made. Once a complete database of all transitions of these molecules
has been made, analytes can be very accurately determined without using
a standard sample. In this project, we will calibrate transitions using
wavemeter technologies to an accuracy of 0.01 nm over the entire UV/Visible
region. We will define the usage of the spectral data for analysis of
spectra in complex samples.
Progress:
First draft revised at this General Assembly. Next draft distributed
via e-mail attachment by end of Sept. 1997.
