The major advantage of fluorescence methods is sensitivity. One can see why fluorimetric methods are so sensitive if we compare them with absorption spectroscopy. In absorption methods, the absorbance of a compound in the range of 1.0x10 absorbance units can be measured using a good absorption spectrophotometer. Assuming a very efficient absorber with an extinction molar coefficient of =1 x lO lmol cm, we can calculate a low detection limit Cdl of ... 

Let s consider, for example, commoi value of extinction molar coefficient 1000. Such value is 500 times greater than the value for Sarin. In this case it is possible to analyze the organophosphorous compounds in the concentration of 8.7x10 mg/ml = 0.87 ig/l (1.96x10mol/l).

The vibration frequencies of C-H bond are noticeably higher for gaseous thiazole than for its dilute solutions in carbon tetrachloride or tor liquid samples (Table 1-27). The molar extinction coefficient and especially the integrated intensity of the same peaks decrease dramatically with dilution (203). Inversely, the y(C(2jH) and y(C(5(H) frequencies are lower for gaseous thiazole than for its solutions, and still lower than for liquid samples (cf. Table 1-27).

To obtain reliable, accurate, and reproducible methods for quantitative estimation of deoxy sugars, certain conditions must be fulfilled. Thus, it is necessary that the chromogen be formed quantitatively from the sugar. The chromogen must then react quantitatively with the compound used for color formation, and lastly, the dye, once formed, should be stable and have a well defined molar extinction coefficient. In methods in which all of these conditions are not or cannot be fulfilled, recourse must be had to simultaneous determinations with suitable standard substances, a requirement not always easy to fulfil. 

Despite the above-mentioned short-comings, this approach to the estimation of those deoxy sugars which yield malonaldehyde when oxidized with periodate, seemed promising, since, as has been seen (58,59), the dye is formed quantitatively in the reaction of malonaldehyde with 2-thiobarbituric acid also, more recently, its constitution (49,57) and molar extinction coefficient (36) have been established. Thus, if conditions could be found in which malonaldehyde, while being formed quantitatively from the deoxy sugars, would be stable, an ideal method, independent of standard compounds, would be available for the quantitative determination of all of these sugars. 

This is the fundamental equation of colorimetry and spectrophotometry, and is often spoken of as the Beer-Lambert Law. The value of a will clearly depend upon the method of expression of the concentration. If c is expressed in mole h 1 and / in centimetres then a is given the symbol and is called the molar absorption coefficient or molar absorptivity (formerly the molar extinction coefficient).

The reduced symmetry of the chromophore, which still contains 187t-electrons and is therefore an aromatic system, influences the electronic spectrum which shows a bathochromic shift and a higher molar extinction coefficient of the long-wavelength absorption bands compared to the porphyrin, so that the photophysical properties of the chlorins resulting from this structural alteration render them naturally suitable as pigments for photosynthesis and also make them of interest in medical applications, e.g. photodynamic tumor therapy (PDT).2... 

The development and adaptation of procedures for the separation, isolation, purification, identification, and analysis of the components of the pyrethrum mixture have been studied and evaluated. Results of studies to determine the molar extinction coefficient of pyrethrin I as well as a gas chromatographic procedure for the determination of pyrethrins are reported. The use of chromatographic separation procedures (including partition, adsorption, gas, and thin-layer chromatography), colorimetry, and infrared spectrophotometry are discussed. 

An interesting change of the UV-absorbances with electrolyte concentration was observed for A18 and T18, as shown in Fig. 5. The molar extinction coefficient of A18 decreased by about 7% at 0.09 mM, and that of T18 about 10% at 0.16 mM. These concentrations may correspond to the critical micelle concentration, since the cmc observed from the surface tension measurements were about 0.1 mM for both A18 and T18. 

Other physical methods were also applied to the elucidation of the isomerism of diazocyanides, e. g., determination of diamagnetic susceptibility, the Faraday effect (optical rotation in a magnetic field), and electronic and infrared spectra. Hantzsch and Schulze measured ultraviolet spectra at a remarkably early date (1895 a). Unfortunately, their results and later work (Le Fevre and Wilson, 1949 Freeman and Le Fevre, 1950) did not allow unambiguous conclusions, except perhaps the observation that the molar extinction coefficients of the band at lowest frequency are consistently larger in all types of (i -compounds Ar — N2 - X than in the corresponding (Z)-iso-mers (Zollinger, 1961, p. 62). 

For quantitative work, it is necessary to estimate the concentration of 5-amino-l-(P-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole in aqueous solution. It seems that the only available method is the Bratton-Marshall assay, which was originally developed for the estimation of arylamines in biological fluids. The principle of the method is the spectrometric estimation of a salmon-pink colored dyestuff obtained by diazotation in situ, followed by coupling with /V-( 1 -naphthyl)ethyl-enediamine.65 The only remaining problem then is to know the molar extinction of this dye because pure samples of AIRs are not available. A value of 16800 at 520 nM was obtained for the dyes prepared from a model compound, 5-amino-l-cyclohexylimidazole-4-carboxylic acid (54), which is crystalline. A comparable molar extinction can be expected for the dye prepared from imidazole 55, if the carboxyl group does not exert too much influence on the chromophore. Actually, its influence is perceptible even with the naked eye, the dyestuff prepared from 53 having a somewhat different, wine-red color, with max>520 nM. The molar extinction for 55 is 17400 at 500 nM. When the decarboxylation of 54 was conducted under mild acidic conditions (pH 4.8, 50°C, 1 hour), estimation of 5-aminoimidazole 55 by the Bratton-Marshall method led to the conclusion that the reaction was almost quantitative.66 Similar conditions for the final decarboxylation were adopted in the preparation of samples of AIRs labeled with stable isotopes.58...
