Present and future perspectives

The evaluation of more than 1200 references concerning derivative spectrophotometry up to the first half of 1991 gave very interesting results. From the beginning in 1951 up to 1965 only a few publications are found in the literature. The first modest accumulation 

Whereas between 1951 and 1975 most papers dealt with theoretical issues or equipment problems, in the following years more and more publications were concerned with analytical applications. Currently, this excellent method is being widely used not only in scientific laboratories but also in industry and in national bureaus of standards. 

Especially in UV-VIS spectroscopy, improved diode-array spectrophotometers or other fast spectral devices will be favorable for the fine resolution as well as the enhacement of sensitivity of spectra and other electric signals. By rapid accumulation of many scans, the best method for noise elimination can be employed from a rational point of view, and in the shortest amount of time, without altering the shape of the signals. 

Most of the approximately 1200 papers on derivative techniques (up to July 1991) deal either with applications of this method to finely resolving signals or with applications of theoretical considerations to practical problems. At the moment about 110 to 140 new papers are presented per annum. 

In this chapter 489 examples of applications are carefully selected out of the large number of publications. The literature is summarized in groups of different substances or fields of applications. We hope this information may encourage the reader to adopt higher-order differentiation in analytical or other problems and will provide an useful introduction to the literature.
